OGRA (Amendment) Bill, 2026: Bill proposes quarterly gas pricing moved in Senate

Business Recorder reported that the government introduced the OGRA (Amendment) Bill, 2026 in the Senate on Friday, proposing a quarterly process for adjusting natural gas tariffs. The bill was referred to the Senate Standing Committee on Cabinet Secretariat after its introduction by State Minister for Interior Talal Chaudhry.

The proposed changes would require federal government advice within 30 days of a tariff review. The bill’s stated purpose is to reflect movements in natural gas and RLNG prices, as well as changes in rupee-dollar parity, more regularly. Its explanatory statement says more timely tariff revisions are intended to limit circular debt and support financial and operational stability across the gas supply chain. The measure is a proposal, not a completed change to gas pricing.
