Ogra has lowered regasified LNG rates by a notable margin from the previous month, with the revised prices taking effect on September 1, 2026, Business Recorder reported. The regulator based the new tariffs on two individual LNG cargoes brought in by PSO. The reduction arrives while severe gas load-shedding continues to disrupt supply across the country.
