LPG prices may surge as Iran-Israel conflict halts supplies

The ongoing conflict between Iran and Israel is expected to cause a serious LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) crisis in Pakistan. This concern was raised by Irfan Khokhar, Chairman of the LPG Distributors Association, who has urged the government to make urgent arrangements for the import of LPG to avoid a severe shortage in the coming weeks.

Irfan Khokhar warned that if steps are not taken to enhance LPG storage capacity, the country could face a sharp hike in prices due to limited supply. He emphasized that the government must act quickly to ensure smooth imports and prevent further economic pressure on consumers who rely on LPG for cooking and heating.

In addition to the looming LPG shortage, the conflict has also affected the supply of smuggled Iranian petrol into Pakistan. The illegal cross-border transportation of Iranian fuel through Balochistan has come to a halt due to heightened regional tensions and border security concerns.

As a result, fuel prices have started rising in several border areas of Balochistan, where Iranian petrol is commonly used because of its affordability. Local traders and residents report that not only is fuel becoming more expensive, but other Iranian goods are also becoming scarce, creating challenges for daily life in these regions.

The ongoing geopolitical crisis is beginning to affect Pakistan’s internal fuel dynamics, and experts believe swift government intervention is necessary to stabilize supply and protect consumers from further inflation.
