Ogra blames govt for hike in gas meter rent

Wasim Iqbal Published April 30, 2023

ISLAMABAD: The oil and gas regulator, Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (Ogra) blamed the federal government for hiking the gas meter monthly rent from Rs40 to Rs500.

In a statement, the regulator says that Ogra’s role is to determine the prescribed price of the SNGPL and the SSGCL, whilst category-wise consumer gas sale price is fixed by the federal government considering their socioeconomic agenda.

Minimum bill for gas consumers fixed at Rs500

“Federal government, in its recent sale price advice effective January 2023 has levied fixed charge to the tune of Rs460 for consumers whose average consumption exceeds 0.9 HM3”. However, consumers having lesser consumption shall not be burdened by this increase.

When we get our gas connection, we purchase the meter. Therefore why should we pay rent on something that we own? If SNGPL provides it for free, then rent would make some sense.

@Vasif Shinwari, no, you do not purchase the meter. You pay service line charges and security charges only.

Gas through pipes should not be supplied to rsdential customers due to gas in domestic sector is heavely subsidized and not economical for gas companies to deliver. LPG cylinders to be provided to domestic customers. Gas is very expensive and leakages theft and debts could be avoided if cylinder gas is used. In 250 or in 500 rupees how come gas could be sold to consumers it is un wise.

Mounting Circular Debt destroyed the entire energy sector; SSGC, SNGPL, LNG Terminals, Power Generation, CPPA, DISCOs, PSO & economy at large. Successive govts failed to materialize cheaper oil & gas imports via pipeline, from iran or Central Asia. Ever increasing corruption & state expenses can't be recovered by meter rents, taxes, duties, surcharges & tariff increase
