14 August, 2025 CNG Prices in Pakistan – Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) is widely used as a fuel in Pakistan and in last few years CNG kits were installed in several vehicles. Earlier, there was a large difference between the gas and petrol prices. However, in last few days, CNG Prices in Pakistan were significantly increased. On the other side, people are still using CNG due to the better mileage as compare to petrol.
CNG Prices in Pakistan are different for Region I and Region II. The CNG price for Region I is Rs 75.82 per kg. Gujar Khan, Rawalpindi, Islamabad, Potohar Region, Balochistan, and Khyber Pukhtunkhwa lie in the region I.
The CNG price for region II is Rs 104.07 per kg. Punjab (excluding Potohar Region) and Sindh lies in the Region II.
They criticized the government decision to deregulate the CNG prices, leaving the users at the mercy of the CNG companies. Ministry of Petroleum earlier issued a notice stating that CNG prices were now free from the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority’s (OGRA) regulation. The deregulation also permitted CNG station owners to set their own prices.
| Date | Product | Retail Price |
|---|---|---|
| 01 Aug, 2025 | CNG Region-I (KPK, Baluchistan, Potohar region; Islamabad, Rawalpindi, and Gujar Khan) | Rs. 194/Kg |
| 01 Aug, 2025 | CNG Region-II (Sindh and Punjab excluding Potohar region) | Rs. 194/Kg |
CNG has continually been a favorite fuel among many vehicle owners in the country because of its relatively cheaper price in comparison to petrol and diesel. Nevertheless, the CNG price in Pakistan has been experiencing significant variation within the last few months mainly due to the prices quoted internationally, seasonal demand and government policies.
The cost of CNG is considerably different in various regions. As an example, in Punjab, CNG is provided on the basis of LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas), an imported commodity and more costly. In contrast, areas where natural gas is produced locally (Sindh and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa) prices are typically cheaper but this is currently dropping due to new approaches to price determination.
In the case of urban centers, the CNG price in Karachi has often been a subject of discussion because Karachi heavily uses public transport and even private owned vehicles that run on CNG. The CNG industry in Karachi follows a deregulated structure, which implies that the prices in each of the stations may slightly vary. CNG is an affordable means of transport to the commuters in the city in spite of the occasional shortages or station closures.
Other major cities like Lahore, Islamabad and Peshawar have also different prices ago because of regional supply and availability of gas. Pricing and availability are also influenced by load management schedules particularly during winters.
Monitoring CNG price in Pakistan is important to the daily commuters and transporters. As the cost is closely associated with global gas rates and policy policies, it is better to frequently follow the information updates by either official sites or news portals to be in the know, particularly in the major cities such as Karachi where the price sensitiveness is high.
