New Gas Transmission Pipeline Inauguration

The 24-inch diameter 31-kilometre long gas pipeline was inaugurated by SSGC’s Managing Director Mr. Imran Maniar on Thursday.

It will enhance supplies to Karachi’s West Region. This pipeline from MVA ACPL to SMS Surjani will largely address the issues of low-pressure supply of gas to Company’s industrial customers located in the western region.

The cost of the entire project is recorded as Rs. 3,859 million. The project will segregate the low-pressure domestic and commercial consumers from high-pressure industrial consumers of SITE and Hub Industrial Areas.
