LPG importers association warns of serious gas shortage in next few days, seeks 'sustainable' pricing framework

The LPG Importers Association of Pakistan warns of an imminent nationwide LPG shortage due to unsustainable pricing, urging the government to revise the pricing framework. The association claims the current price set by Ogra fails to cover import costs, leading to operational losses and potential shutdowns of import terminals. Despite recent price reductions by Ogra, retailers report no market relief, with LPG prices remaining high at Rs480-Rs550 per kg.
