ISLAMABAD: Parliamentary Secretary for Petroleum and Natural Resources Shahzadi Umarzadi Tiwana on Tuesday informed the National Assembly that the country has around 2,000 MMCFD shortage of gas adding that gas was being supplied to textile industry for 6 hours daily.
Responding to a Calling Attention Notice raised by Haji Muhammad Akram Ansari and others regarding discontinuation of gas supply to the textile industry as well as suspension thereof for the domestic consumers in Faisalabad, she said that there was no curtailment for domestic consumers due to shortage of gas in the country. However, gas load management was being carried out in other sectors, she said.
She said there was gap between demand and supply of gas in the country and shortfall was mainly due to large number of gas connections.
Shahzadi Tiwana said the other sectors themselves could import Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) for their industries.
