Punjab Gas Supply Timings Announced for Ramadan With Extended Daily Availability
Gas consumers across Punjab will receive extended supply hours during Ramadan after Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited unveiled its revised distribution schedule for the holy month. The announcement applies to major cities including Lahore as well as other districts across the province.
Under the updated arrangement, gas will be available daily from 3:00am until 10:30pm, providing households with long supply hours for cooking and routine needs throughout the fasting period. The utility company confirmed that the plan is designed to facilitate consumers during both Sehri and Iftar while maintaining stability across the distribution network.
Officials explained that unlike previous seasonal supply plans that focused primarily on peak cooking periods, this year’s schedule aims to provide broader access across most of the day. The decision reflects efforts to ease public inconvenience and ensure smoother daily routines during Ramadan, when domestic gas usage typically rises.
According to Managing Director Amir Tufail, the company is committed to maintaining uninterrupted service during the announced timeframe. He emphasized that SNGPL will make every effort to avoid load management within these hours so consumers can rely on consistent availability for meal preparation and household activities.
The utility also addressed concerns about low pressure in certain areas. Consumers experiencing weak supply have been advised to register complaints through the official helpline at 1199 so technical teams can investigate and resolve issues promptly. Authorities say public feedback plays an important role in identifying local distribution problems and improving service delivery.
Energy experts note that Ramadan schedules often require careful balancing of supply and demand, particularly as consumption patterns shift toward early morning and evening hours. By extending daily availability, SNGPL aims to reduce pressure spikes and distribute gas more evenly across its network.
The announcement comes at a time when energy management remains a key priority nationwide. With rising demand and infrastructure constraints, utilities continue to adopt targeted strategies to ensure fair distribution while minimizing disruptions.
Residents are encouraged to use gas responsibly and avoid unnecessary wastage so the system can maintain steady pressure levels for all users. The company stated that cooperation from consumers is essential for ensuring reliable supply throughout the fasting month.
The revised Ramadan schedule will remain in effect for the entire holy month, after which standard supply timings are expected to resume across Punjab.
