IslamabadA Senate bill would end public hearings on gas price revisions.
It would also reset gas prices every quarter.
The Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority reviews each licensee’s quarterly costs, then Pakistan’s government has 30 days to notify consumer prices.
Minister of State Tallal Chaudhry’s bill says quarterly pricing tracks rupee-dollar parity and curbs circular debt.
If the Senate passes it, the law takes effect at once.
