KARACHI: The Sui Southern Gas Company has commissioned a transmission pipeline for supplying gas to Karachi’ west region.

The new pipeline would largely address the issues of low-pressure supply of gas to industrial customers, said a press release.

It said that the Rs 3.859 billion project will segregate the low-pressure domestic and commercial consumers from high-pressure industrial consumers of SITE and Hub Industrial Areas.

Speaking at the inaugural ceremony, SSGC Managing Director Imran Maniar said that the execution of the project would reduce UFG (unaccounted for gas) through reduction in the unwanted high gas pressures in the domestic sector and by improving pressures and volumes in the industrial sector.
