ISLAMABAD – The government has approved a significant increase in gas prices, a move that is expected to impact households and industries across the country.
According to officials, the decision was taken to address rising production and supply costs, as well as the financial strain on the gas sector. The revised tariff will take effect soon, and detailed notifications are expected to be issued in the coming days.
Consumers, already coping with inflation, have expressed concern over the latest hike, fearing higher monthly bills. Industry experts warn that the increase may also affect manufacturing costs, potentially influencing market prices.
Authorities, however, claim that the adjustment was unavoidable and necessary to maintain the stability of the energy supply system.
