Pakistan hikes LNG prices by up to 28% in May

Pakistan's government issued an official notification raising liquefied natural gas (LNG) prices by as much as 28 percent for the month of May. The increase applies to both major domestic distribution systems and reflects the higher cost of imported LNG amid a global energy price surge. The revision coincides with the arrival of two LNG cargoes from Qatar, underscoring supply‑side pressures.

The adjustment is part of a broader effort to align domestic energy tariffs with international market movements, and it is expected to affect households and industrial consumers across the country.
