Consumers across Pakistan may soon receive major relief as liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) supplies from Iran have resumed. The development could ease the ongoing gas shortage and reduce market prices.
According to reports on Sunday, October 25, 2026, LPG tankers have started crossing the Pakistan-Iran border following the reopening of trade routes.
The renewed supply is expected to improve LPG availability in Karachi and other parts of the country.
LPG Prices Expected to Fall by Rs50 to Rs70 Per Kilogram
Sources indicated that more than 200 LPG tankers were expected to receive clearance at the Gabd-Rimdan border on Sunday.
These shipments could bring approximately 3,000 to 4,000 tonnes of LPG into Pakistan’s domestic market.
With supplies recovering, LPG prices could decrease by Rs50 to Rs70 per kilogram.
However, the expected price reduction has not yet been officially confirmed.
Port Qasim Receives Additional LPG Shipments
Meanwhile, fresh LPG shipments arriving through Port Qasim have further improved supply prospects.
Port officials confirmed that a vessel carrying 4,520 tonnes of LPG had reached the port.
Another ship carrying 3,083 tonnes had already completed unloading operations and departed.
The arrival of these shipments, combined with renewed Iranian imports, could help stabilize the domestic LPG market.
Pakistan’s LPG Shortage May Ease Soon
The reopening of the Pakistan-Iran border has also allowed authorities to begin clearing tankers previously stranded at the crossing.
The development offers hope to households and businesses affected by limited LPG availability.
Additional imports could reduce supply pressure and improve market conditions.
However, actual price reductions will depend on the arrival and distribution of imported LPG.
The coming days will determine whether improved supplies translate into meaningful financial relief for consumers.
