KARACHI: Sui Southern Gas Company (SSGC) has announced a 24-hour suspension of gas supply to the industrial sector across Sindh, citing a shortfall in the system and the need to ensure balanced distribution.
According to company spokesperson Salman Siddiqui, the decision aims to improve gas pressure and stabilise the network amid constrained supply. “SSGC remains committed to ensuring improved gas pressure for its consumers and is taking necessary steps to manage the limited availability,” he stated.
As per the schedule, gas supply to all industrial consumers — including captive power plants — will remain suspended from 8:00am on Sunday, April 12, 2026, to 8:00am on Monday, April 13.
The company explained that the temporary shutdown is part of its broader load management strategy to maintain system stability and enhance line pack, ensuring equitable distribution across sectors.
SSGC emphasised that priority consumers, including domestic households and essential services, will continue to receive uninterrupted gas supply during this period.
The move comes as part of ongoing efforts to address demand-supply imbalances, particularly during peak consumption hours, with the company striving to minimise disruptions while efficiently managing available gas resources.
