Operators face operational challenges

Nadeem Ahmed Siddiqui stated that the current duration of gas supply is insufficient for the hospitality sector. Business operators reported that gas is available for barely six hours a day. Rising LNG prices are also creating financial pressure on hotels and restaurants.

Supply issues affect business

The Chamber President noted that limited gas supply combined with high costs places additional strain on businesses. Operators complained about difficulties in obtaining liquefied natural gas at prescribed rates. Effective monitoring and regulatory oversight are needed to address these complaints.
