CNG Price Hike Rs 1.75 per kg – OGRA
Ogra again increased the price of compressed natural gas (CNG) by Rs 1.75 in the country and is forcing stations to sell gas on higher rates of Rs 57.03 against Rs 55.30.
Ogra has fixed the selling price of CNG for the Potohar Region, Khyber-Pakhtukhawa and Balochistan at Rs 57.03 against Rs 55.30 and for Sindh and the central Punjab Rs 55.30 against Rs 53.03.
Ogra on Sunday issued a notification on revised retail prices of compressed natural gas (CNG) in the country. On the other hand, the All Pakistan CNG Association has rejected the revised retail price of gas and decided to beseige the Ogra headquarters in protest on August 4.
The official spokesman of Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (Ogra), Asad Latif, told The News that the concerned authority had issued a notification of the new revised retail price of CNG across the country. All stations would follow the rates of gas according to the notification, he said. He said that overall, Ogra had increased the rates by Rs 1.75 per kilogram throughout the country.
CNG Association Chairman Ghayas Abdullah Piracha said, “We have rejected the revised rates of gas by Ogra. The government wants to destroy the industry by increasing the rates of gas again and again. We have decided to besiege the Ogra headquarters on August 4 against the increase in gas rates, he said and added that several stations in the country were following the old rates of gas.
“The government wants to bring the rates of gas and diesel at par for destroying the CNG industry in the country. We want the government to decrease the rates of gas in order to decrease the rates of CNG to provide relief to consumers,” he said.
He warned the government of closing down all stations throughout the country if the authorities concerned did not take back the notification on price revision. CNG station owners told The News that Ogra had forced them to sell the gas according to the revised rates on Sunday.
