Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) prices in Pakistan may fall from Saturday after two ships carrying supplies from Oman arrived at Port Qasim. The vessels brought a combined 7,603 metric tonnes of LPG, according to market sources. The additional supply could ease shortages and reduce pressure on prices. Shipments from Iran may also resume from Saturday.
The vessel Pryanis unloaded 4,250 metric tonnes of LPG at the Sui Southern Gas Company terminal. Meanwhile, Alisa One discharged 3,083 metric tonnes at the Engro terminal. The arrivals are expected to improve the availability of LPG in the local market. However, the impact on prices will depend on how supplies develop.

Market sources said the new shipments could help stabilise the market after delays affected supplies from Iran. If Iranian shipments resume as expected, Pakistan could receive additional fuel to meet domestic demand. Increased availability may ease supply pressures and create room for lower prices. Consumers will be watching for any reduction in LPG rates in the coming days.
However, a price decline is not guaranteed, as market conditions and further shipments will influence the final outcome. The latest arrivals provide additional supplies, but their effect will depend on distribution and overall demand. Market developments from Saturday onward are expected to offer a clearer picture of whether consumers will benefit from lower prices.
