What is the current SNGPL gas rate in Pakistan for 2026?

SNGPL follows OGRA's FY 2025-26 domestic tariff determination effective 1 July 2025. Protected consumers pay Rs 200 to Rs 350 per MMBTU depending on slab, plus Rs 600 fixed charge. Non-protected consumers pay Rs 500 (up to 0.25 hm3) rising to Rs 4,200 (above 4 hm3) per MMBTU, plus a Rs 1,500 or Rs 3,000 fixed charge depending on consumption tier. OGRA set SNGPL's prescribed price at Rs 1,719 per MMBTU for FY 2025-26. Consumer-side slabs are identical to SSGC because OGRA harmonises category-wise domestic prices across both utilities.

What is the difference between protected and non-protected gas consumers?

Protected status is calculated on your 4-month winter (November through February) average consumption. If that average is at or below 0.9 hm3, you qualify for the protected rate structure: Rs 200 to Rs 350 per MMBTU across four slabs, uniform Rs 600 fixed monthly charge. Above 0.9 hm3 winter average pushes you to non-protected: Rs 500 to Rs 4,200 per MMBTU progressive slabs and a fixed charge of Rs 1,500 (up to 1.5 hm3) or Rs 3,000 (2 hm3 and above). Reversion to protected requires the following winter's 4-month average to drop back below 0.9 hm3.

How does the slab concession work on Sui gas bills?

For non-protected consumers up to 4 hm3, only the portion above each previous slab boundary is billed at the higher slab rate. Example: at 1.20 hm3 consumption, the first 0.25 hm3 bills at Rs 500 per MMBTU, the next 0.35 hm3 (up to 0.60) at Rs 850, the next 0.40 hm3 (up to 1.00) at Rs 1,250, and the final 0.20 hm3 at Rs 1,450. This concession does NOT apply if you cross 4 hm3 in a month; above 4 hm3 the entire consumption is billed at Rs 4,200 per MMBTU per OGRA rules. This makes crossing the 4 hm3 boundary punishingly expensive and is worth avoiding by conservation.

What is hm3 and how does it convert to MMBTU?

hm3 (hundred cubic meters) is the meter reading unit shown on Pakistani gas bills. MMBTU (Million British Thermal Units) is the billing unit representing energy content. The conversion depends on the heating value of gas in your local pipeline: typical SNGPL and SSGC bills use a factor between 3.5 and 3.6 MMBTU per hm3. This calculator uses 3.5 as the default; check your bill's Gas Sale Rate section for the exact factor and override in the input if needed. A 1.0 hm3 monthly consumption is approximately 3.5 MMBTU of billable energy.

How much is the Sui gas bill for 1 hm3 in 2026 for a non-protected consumer?

Non-protected consumer at 1.0 hm3 monthly (typical mid-size household), roughly Rs 4,500 to Rs 5,200 total on the 2025-26 tariff, depending on TV fee inclusion. Breakdown: first 0.25 hm3 at Rs 500 (0.875 MMBTU x Rs 500 = Rs 438), next 0.35 at Rs 850 (1.225 MMBTU x Rs 850 = Rs 1,041), final 0.40 at Rs 1,250 (1.4 MMBTU x Rs 1,250 = Rs 1,750), plus Rs 1,500 fixed charge, Rs 40 meter rent, Rs 850 GST at 18 percent, roughly Rs 5,620 without TV fee. Use the calculator above with your exact hm3 reading for a pinpoint estimate.

How do I lower my Sui gas bill?

Four fast levers: (1) Stay under 0.9 hm3 winter average to maintain protected status; the delta between protected Rs 200-350 per MMBTU and non-protected Rs 500-1,450 per MMBTU is the single biggest saving in the whole tariff structure. (2) Watch the slab-crossing warning in this calculator and cut usage in the last few days if you are close to the next boundary. (3) Never cross 4.0 hm3 in a month; the concession withdrawal above 4 hm3 pushes your entire bill to Rs 4,200 per MMBTU, which more than doubles the effective rate. (4) Switch geyser and stove usage to induction electric during peak solar generation hours if you have net-metered solar; the export credit at Rs 11 per unit (NAEPP) plus reduced gas consumption combined typically saves Rs 3,000 to Rs 8,000 per month on top of solar payback math.

Does SSGC have the same gas rates as SNGPL?

Yes, consumer-side. OGRA notifies harmonised domestic slab rates for both utilities every fiscal year, so a protected consumer using 0.5 hm3 pays exactly Rs 250 per MMBTU on both SNGPL and SSGC. The difference is on the utility side: OGRA sets a separate prescribed price for each (SNGPL Rs 1,719, SSGC Rs 1,691 per MMBTU for FY 2025-26) which drives the government subsidy per unit but does NOT affect what the customer pays. Coverage areas differ: SNGPL serves Punjab, KPK, AJK and Islamabad; SSGC serves Sindh and Balochistan.

How often does OGRA update gas prices?

OGRA sets domestic gas tariffs annually for the fiscal year (July to June), based on utility revenue requirement petitions filed by SNGPL and SSGC. Rates typically hold for the full fiscal year unless the federal government notifies a mid-year adjustment. The current tariff is effective 1 July 2025 through 30 June 2026. Watch for the July 2026 OGRA notification for FY 2026-27 rates, expected to reflect revised prescribed prices as global LNG import costs and rupee-dollar parity evolve.

About the Gas Bill Calculator Pakistan 2026 (SNGPL + SSGC OGRA Slabs)

Free Pakistan gas bill calculator covering both SNGPL (Sui Northern serving Punjab, KPK, AJK, Islamabad) and SSGC (Sui Southern serving Sindh and Balochistan), updated to OGRA's FY 2025-26 domestic tariff determination effective 1 July 2025. Handles the three consumer categories: Protected (4-month winter Nov to Feb average consumption at or below 0.9 hm3, uniform lower slab rates Rs 200 to Rs 350 per MMBTU with Rs 600 fixed charge), Non-Protected (winter average above 0.9 hm3 or any consumer crossing the 0.9 hm3 boundary, progressive rate slabs starting at Rs 500 per MMBTU and climbing to Rs 4,200 per MMBTU above 4.0 hm3, plus fixed monthly charge stepping from Rs 1,500 to Rs 3,000 at the 2 hm3 boundary), and Commercial (flat Rs 3,900 per MMBTU, minimum bill Rs 6,415). Progressive slab concession applies for non-protected consumers up to 4 hm3 (only the excess portion in each tier is billed at the higher slab rate), but consumers above 4 hm3 lose the concession and pay the full Rs 4,200 per MMBTU on their entire consumption per OGRA rules. The killer feature is a live slab-crossing warning that fires when your current month usage is within 0.05 hm3 of the next slab boundary. Full breakdown includes slab-by-slab base energy charge, monthly fixed charge, meter rent Rs 40, GST 18 percent, and optional TV fee Rs 35.

Sui Gas Bill Calculator 2025-26

Gas utility

SNGPL serves Punjab, KPK, AJK and Islamabad. OGRA-notified consumer slabs identical to SSGC.

Consumer type

Non-protected: winter average above 0.9 hm3. Progressive slabs Rs 500-4,200 per MMBTU + Rs 1,500 or Rs 3,000 fixed charge.

Consumption this month (hm3)

Read from your Sui gas bill (Current minus Previous meter reading, usually shown as usage in hm3).

hm3 to MMBTU factor

Default 3.5. Typical SNGPL / SSGC range 3.5 to 3.6. Check your bill's Gas Sale Rate section for the exact value.

Include Rs 35 TV fee on this bill

You are 0.001 hm3 away from the next slab

Current rate: Rs 1250 per MMBTU. Next slab jumps to Rs 1450, a Rs 200 increase per MMBTU on any consumption above the boundary. Consider reducing geyser or space heater use in the last few days of the billing cycle to stay inside the current slab.

Save on your Sui gas bill

Stay under 0.9 hm3 winter average. Delta between protected Rs 200-350 per MMBTU and non-protected Rs 500+ per MMBTU is the single biggest saving in the whole tariff structure.

Never cross 4.0 hm3 in one month. Concession withdrawal above 4 hm3 pushes the entire bill to Rs 4200 per MMBTU. A 4.1 hm3 bill can cost Rs 15,000-30,000 more than a 3.9 hm3 bill.

Shift heating loads to induction electric. Especially useful if you have net-metered solar; solar export credit at Rs 11/unit (NAEPP) plus reduced gas consumption can save Rs 3,000-8,000 per month on combined utility bills.

Rate source and accuracy

Domestic gas slabs verified against OGRA's FY 2025-26 tariff determination effective 1 July 2025. Consumer-side slabs are identical for both SNGPL and SSGC because OGRA harmonises category-wise domestic prices. Prescribed prices differ (SNGPL Rs 1,719, SSGC Rs 1,691 per MMBTU) but do not affect the consumer bill; those set the government subsidy per unit. Rates hold through FY 2025-26 (30 June 2026) unless the federal government notifies a mid-year adjustment.

Verify current rates on the official SSGC domestic tariff page or SNGPL website. This is an estimate tool. Actual bills may vary due to meter reading rounding, heating value variation, arrears, LPS surcharges, and cycle-specific OGRA notifications.

Protected status is verified against a 4-month winter (Nov to Feb) rolling average, not the single month you enter here. Even if a single summer month reads above 0.9 hm3, your protected status carries through until the following winter cycle averages recalculate. Bills may show the higher slab temporarily during transition.

Pick your gas utility: SNGPL (Sui Northern, covering Punjab, KPK, AJK and Islamabad) or SSGC (Sui Southern, covering Sindh and Balochistan). Both apply identical OGRA-notified consumer slabs, so switching only changes the coverage note and does not affect the bill amount.
Choose consumer type: Protected (4-month winter Nov to Feb average consumption at or below 0.9 hm3, subsidised rates), Non-protected (winter average above 0.9 hm3, progressive slab rates with higher fixed charges), or Commercial (shops, restaurants, offices, hospitals at flat Rs 3,900 per MMBTU).
Enter consumption in hm3 (hundred cubic meters, the meter reading unit on your Sui gas bill). Reading is usually shown as Current minus Previous meter reading in your bill's usage section.
Adjust the hm3 to MMBTU conversion factor if you know your bill's specific heat content (default 3.5 MMBTU per hm3 matches typical SNGPL and SSGC billing).
Toggle TV fee inclusion if your gas bill has the Rs 35 TV fee added (some utilities bill it separately or via the DISCO electricity bill).
Read the result. The primary card shows total payable and effective per hm3 rate. Slab-by-slab breakdown table shows exactly which OGRA rate applied to which portion of your consumption. Watch for the red slab-crossing warning if your usage is close to the next boundary. Verify against your actual bill; deviations of Rs 100 to 300 are normal from meter reading rounding and heating value variation.
