Government Orders SNGPL RLNG Supply Suspension for Agritech Plant
Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited (SNGPL) has suspended the supply of Re-gasified Liquefied Natural Gas (RLNG) to the urea manufacturing facility of Agritech Limited (PSX: AGL) following a government directive issued in response to disruptions in RLNG availability caused by the prevailing regional situation.
According to a notification submitted by Agritech Limited to the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX), the suspension became effective at 12:00am on July 18, 2026.
RLNG Supplies Halted Until Further Notice
Agritech said SNGPL informed the company that the suspension was directed by the Government of Pakistan due to interruptions in RLNG supplies linked to ongoing regional developments affecting the country’s energy supply chain.
The company stated that gas supplies to its urea plant will remain suspended until further notice, with SNGPL expected to communicate any decision regarding the restoration of RLNG supplies at a later stage.
Urea Production May Be Affected
The suspension of RLNG supplies could temporarily impact urea production at Agritech’s manufacturing facility.
However, the company did not disclose the expected effect on production volumes, operational performance, or financial results.
Agritech said it will continue to monitor the situation and keep shareholders informed of any further developments or instructions received from SNGPL.
Regional Supply Disruptions Pressure Pakistan’s Energy Sector
Pakistan has been facing increasing pressure on its energy supplies in recent weeks as regional tensions have disrupted global fuel supply chains and affected the availability of imported RLNG.
The government has been managing available gas resources to ensure supplies for priority sectors during the current period of uncertainty.
Company Awaits Restoration Decision
No timeline has been announced for the resumption of RLNG supplies to Agritech’s urea plant.
The company said it will provide an update to shareholders once SNGPL communicates any decision regarding the restoration of gas supplies.
