IslamabadEnergas asked Pakistan’s prime minister to refund $2 million.

Pakistan loses planned import capacity while the Hormuz closure has suspended Qatar’s liquefied natural gas production.

Energas says the government’s March 2025 energy study found no new gas terminals necessary for five years.

The Port Qasim Authority says the $2 million is a forfeitable concession fee, not a refundable advance.

The authority will cancel the letter of intent unless it gets unconditional acceptance by 30 November.
