Key points
- A Senate panel has been warned that Pakistan may face an LNG shortfall after April 14 because of Middle East-linked supply disruptions.
- The issue could intensify pressure on the power sector and broader energy planning.
A Senate committee was told that Pakistan could run out of liquefied natural gas after April 14 because regional tensions have disrupted expected supplies. Geo News reported that petroleum officials linked the warning to the wider Middle East crisis and its impact on shipments from Qatar.
According to the briefing, several LNG cargoes due in March and April have been affected, raising concern about gas availability for the power sector. Officials said demand from electricity producers would likely not be fully met in April, although alternative arrangements are being explored to reduce the shortfall.
The development adds to Pakistan’s energy worries as the country also faces higher oil prices and broader supply-chain stress. The report underscores how instability in the Gulf is directly feeding into domestic fuel planning and economic risk.
