It Will Take 4 Years to Install a New Gas Connection: SNGPL

Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited’s (SNGPL) new policy for the provision of gas connections will keep consumers waiting for four years instead of three to get a gas connection.

The backlog of the gas supplying company is rising rapidly as the number of pending applications for domestic consumers has now crossed the 2.5 million mark in the Lahore region only.

The company is currently not issuing demand notices to new users, even under the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority’s (OGRA) fast-track policy introduced in 2014.

The policy requires a customer to pay additional charges, besides the connection fee, to get a connection on an urgent basis.


  • I know many people who even did not submit application for new connection. They gave money for that. Now they are having SNGPL connection. This is bakwas.

  • Urgent connection must be open as soon as possible it’s the only way for consumer to avail Natural Gas Connection

  • (SNGPL) instead of boosting its capabilities to provide natural gas connections to its users they started delaying it further

  • Live in NPF O-9 Islamabad but after applying for gas connection five years back fix not get it one, on the premise that NPF has no NOC anymore. Everyone around me has gas got connections earlier. Where is my fundamental right like others.

  • Natural Gas reserves are diminishing its production and the gas wells in Sui became dried. No new explorations are in progress so natural gas has shortage as demand is several times more than its supply. The only solution is the recent policy adopted by SNGPL.
