IslamabadImported gas for Punjab rose 14%, for Sindh 15.27%.

Pakistan’s regulator ordered the rise after a 20% September cut, lifting power fuel costs in December.

Both October cargoes came from Qatar under contracts priced at 13.37% and 10.20% of Brent crude, so crude feeds straight through.

Public-sector margins and losses add $5.65 to $6.58 per million British thermal units to the $10.75 cargo price.

September’s gas-fired power cost Rs40 a unit before this rise reaches December’s fuel bills.
