Date of suspension of gas supplies in Karachi announced for July 28

KARACHI – Due to the installation of a new pipeline, gas supply will be completely suspended in parts of Karachi for 24 hours on Sunday, July 27.

In a statement, the company said that the connection of the newly laid 31-kilometer long, 24-inch diameter gas pipeline from MVA Attock Cement Pakistan Limited (ACPL) to Sales Meter Station (SMS) Surjani will be done.

To achieve this goal, gas supplies will be suspended from 05:00 on 28 July to 05:00 on 29 July.

Surjani Town (all sectors)

Inauguration of the new gas pipeline

The 31-kilometer-long, 24-inch-diameter gas pipeline was inaugurated on Thursday by SSGC Managing Director Imran Maniar.

This will improve the supply to the western region of Karachi. This pipeline from MVA ACPL to SMS Surjani will largely solve the problems of low pressure gas supply to the company’s industrial customers in the western region.

The cost of the entire project is Rs 3,859 crore. The project will separate the low pressure domestic and commercial customers from the high pressure industrial customers of SITE and Hub industrial areas.
