LPG operators have assured Power, Energy and Mineral Resources Minister Iqbal Hassan Mahmood that there is no shortage of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) in the country’s market.
The assurance came at a views exchange meeting organised by the Energy and Mineral Resources Division at the Power, Energy and Mineral Resources Ministry to review LPG imports, stocks, supply, market prices and related issues.
Minister Iqbal Hassan Mahmood presided over the meeting, where the overall situation of the country’s LPG sector was presented and reviewed.
According to National Board of Revenue (NBR) data, 157,760 tonnes of LPG were imported in August 2026, while another 118,742 tonnes were imported up to September 22.
The data presented at the meeting showed that the country’s LPG supply and stock situation was satisfactory.
“Therefore, there is currently no shortage of LPG in the country,” LPG importers and operators told the meeting.
The minister urged all concerned to remain vigilant to ensure uninterrupted supply to consumers despite adequate stocks and prevent hoarding that could cause public suffering.
LPG operators assured the government of their full cooperation in this regard.
Iqbal Hassan also heard about various obstacles faced by operators in running their businesses and instructed the Energy and Mineral Resources Division to take steps to resolve the issues quickly.
He said the ministry would provide all possible support to remove obstacles to LPG imports.
“The government will take all necessary measures to make people’s lives easier,” the minister said.
He sought sincere cooperation from all concerned to keep the country’s energy situation normal.
