Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited issued a revised winter gas schedule for Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa households with three daily supply windows.
The company said gas would be available from 5:30 am to 8:30 am, 11:30 am to 1:30 pm, and 5:30 pm to 8:30 pm.
Officials advised families to prepare breakfast and other meals during these designated hours to avoid difficulties during low-pressure periods.
The new schedule aims to manage rising seasonal demand, which the company says has grown significantly, though gas remains available.
SNGPL added that the industrial sector would not face load-shedding under the updated plan.
The utility urged consumers to use gas responsibly, emphasizing it is costly and should be used only for essential household needs.

Gas prices across Pakistan are expected to rise after SNGPL and SSGC filed petitions with OGRA for 2025–26.
SNGPL has sought an increase of Rs189 per MMBTU, while SSGC has requested a Rs125.41 hike.
OGRA will hear SNGPL’s petition on November 7 and SSGC’s petition on November 11 before assessing their financial justifications.
SNGPL has proposed an average prescribed price of Rs1,955.50 per MMBTU and estimated a financial requirement exceeding Rs52.95 billion.
SSGC has requested an average prescribed price of Rs1,658.56 per MMBTU and sought recovery of losses accumulated over previous years.
The tariff requests follow Shehbaz Sharif’s announcement to reopen domestic gas connections, including issuing new RLNG connections nationwide.
