Islamabad: The Sui Southern Gas Company (SSGC) Limited has formally appealed to the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA) for a rise in gas prices for consumers in Sindh and Balochistan. As per media reports, SSGC has applied to OGRA for a retrospective increase of Rs274.40 per MMBTU, effective from July 1, 2024. The company aims to set a new average gas price at Rs1740.80, up from the current average of Rs1696.39 per MMBTU.
The application emphasizes SSGC’s revenue shortfall, totaling Rs79.63 billion. Of this amount, a shortfall of Rs56.69 billion is attributed to local gas, with the remaining Rs22.935 billion attributed to RLNG.
A revenue shortfall occurs when actual or projected earnings fall short of anticipated targets. This situation can impact financial stability, budgeting, and investment plans within the organization.
