Regional supply disruptions force Agritech to halt urea plant
- Agritech's urea plant ceased operations on July 18, 2026, after SNGPL suspended gas supply due to regional issues
Agritech Limited's urea plant has halted operations due to the suspension of RLNG supply by SNGPL, a government decision linked to the prevailing regional situation.
- Government decision behind RLNG supply suspension.
- Agritech Limited's recurring gas supply challenges.
- Potential impact on urea production and company finances.
Agritech Limited (AGL) has announced that its urea plant has halted operations after Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited (SNGPL) suspended the supply of re-gasified liquefied natural gas (RLNG) amid the prevailing regional situation.
The listed company disclosed the development in a notice to the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) on Monday.
“Agritech Limited informs that Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited (SNGPL) has suspended RLNG supply to its urea plant with effect from 00:00 hours on 18-07-2026,” read a notice.
The company said the suspension followed a decision by the Government of Pakistan due to disruptions in RLNG supplies arising from the prevailing regional situation.
Agritech did not disclose how long the suspension would last or the potential impact on urea production and financial performance.
Incorporated in 1959 as Pak-American Fertilizers Limited, AGL’s primary business is the production and sale of urea and granulated single super phosphate fertiliser, sold under the brand name “Tara” in the market.
Gas curtailment remains a major concern for Agritech Limited, impacting its ability to service debt and operate at full capacity.
While gas supply to Agritech’s plant was restored in February 2026 after annual turnaround work, it faced another shutdown in April 2026 due to the suspension of gas supply by SNGPL following pipeline damage.
