Getting a new Sui Gas connection (SNGPL or SSGC) in 2025 has become more detailed, mainly due to Pakistan’s shift towards using imported Regasified Liquefied Natural Gas (RLNG) for new domestic consumers. Whether you are a new homeowner or a tenant, understanding the online application process, required documents, and RLNG tariffs can feel overwhelming.
This guide explains everything you need to know to successfully apply for a New Sui Gas Connection, track your application, and manage costs effectively.
Understanding the RLNG Policy for New Connections
Due to local natural gas depletion, all new domestic connections are now connected to RLNG-based supply, especially where the pipeline network allows.
Why this matters for consumers:
- Reliable Supply: RLNG ensures consistent gas delivery, even during winter when local gas pressure drops.
- Higher Cost: RLNG tariffs are higher than local gas rates, so expect a slightly larger monthly bill.
Estimated Cost & Timeline for a New Connection
The cost and duration vary depending on your area and the pipeline network.
| Component | Cost | Estimated Time (after Demand Notice payment) |
|---|---|---|
| Application Fee | Nominal, non-refundable | Instant |
| Security Deposit | Based on estimated consumption | N/A |
| Service Line Charges | Depends on distance from main line | 3 – 6 Months |
| Installation | Included in Demand Notice | – |
