Sui Gas February 2026 News: Ramadan Timings & Tariff Verdict

Living in Islamabad, dealing with cold mornings and low gas pressure has basically become a winter tradition. With Ramadan falling in the winter/spring transition in 2026, many consumers were worried about Sehri and Iftar supply. This page keeps the February 2026 update as historical context and adds safer notes where tariff information can change.

1. Ramadan 2026: Zero Loadshedding Hours

The biggest concern on everyone's mind was whether we'd have to cook Iftar on expensive LPG cylinders. To our relief, both companies have announced special, guaranteed supply schedules for the holy month.

SNGPL (Punjab, KPK, Islamabad)

For those of us on the Sui Northern network, the government has mandated a massive window. Gas will be supplied with optimal pressure from 3:00 AM to 10:30 PM daily. That is an almost 19-hour continuous window, which is honestly better than we've had in months.

SSGC (Sindh, Balochistan)

Down south, SSGC is facing a slightly tighter crunch due to the 10% annual depletion in local gas reserves. To manage this safely, they are using "pressure profiling" outside of these guaranteed times:

• Sehri: 3:00 AM to 9:00 AM
• Iftar & Dinner: 3:30 PM to 10:00 PM

2. Domestic Tariff Status as Last Checked

Remember late last year when rumors were swirling about another massive jump in our utility bills? OGRA had even recommended upward revisions back in May 2025.

Earlier official statements said domestic gas prices were not being increased at that time. As of the last checked date on May 22, 2026, this page had not verified a newer domestic consumer tariff replacing the July 2025 domestic slab structure. Because gas tariffs can change through later notifications, always confirm current category-wise rates from OGRA, SNGPL, or SSGC before relying on old headlines.

If you're still confused about why your winter bill was high, make sure you understand the Protected vs Non-Protected criteria, as the slab rules from last year still apply.

3. RLNG & LPG Adjustments (Feb 2026)

While the domestic tariff discussion above refers to household slab notices, imported Re-gasified Liquefied Natural Gas (RLNG) and local LPG can be revised separately and did see February 2026 adjustments:

• RLNG Uptick: February 2026 notified RLNG prices showed a small increase for SNGPL and SSGC. RLNG is revised separately from regular domestic system-gas slabs.
• LPG Cylinder Cap: For areas completely off the grid, OGRA has fixed the maximum consumer price of LPG at Rs. 226.05 per kg for February. This brings the standard 11.8kg cylinder to a maximum retail price of Rs. 2,667.40. Do not let vendors overcharge you!

4. Crackdown on Gas Compressors

Both utility companies are taking a zero-tolerance approach this season towards illegal gas compressors. Using a suction pump on your meter doesn't just pull gas away from your immediate neighbors; it dangerously destabilizes the local pipeline pressure.

SNGPL and SSGC have stated that teams will be conducting sudden area raids during Ramadan. Caught using a compressor? Your meter will be disconnected immediately on the spot, accompanied by heavy fines.

5. Future Tariff Changes: Income-Based Billing?

Finally, looking beyond 2026, there are murmurs of a massive structural shift in how we pay for energy. The government, in consultation with the IMF, is currently drafting a new model that looks to replace the current "consumption-slab" method with an income-based structure.

What does this mean? In the future, subsidies might be directly tied to your confirmed household income bracket via NADRA and FBR data, rather than just keeping your meter reading strictly below 0.9 hm3. We will keep you updated as this policy develops over the coming months.
