SSGC Tariff | Gas Unit Price
In Pakistan, the Sui Gas Company plays a pivotal role in supplying natural gas to millions of consumers across various sectors. The SSGC tariff structure implemented by SSGC is a crucial aspect that directly impacts consumers, influencing their energy consumption patterns and expenditures. In this article, we will go through the Sui gas bill tariff rates which are essential for both domestic and commercial users to manage their energy costs effectively while ensuring sustainable usage of natural resources.

The proposed gas tariff aims to address a Rs98 billion shortfall for both gas companies. Under this plan, the minimum bill for non-protected users is set at Rs1,646. Customers consuming 1 unit of gas will see their bill rise to Rs5,457. For those using 2 units, the bill will increase to Rs15,496, and it will escalate to Rs32,144 for 3 units.
What is the Cost of Sui Gas Bill Per Unit in Pakistan?
To calculate the cost of Sui gas bill per unit for non-protected consumers in Pakistan, we can use the provided information:
- For 1 unit: Sui gas bill = Rs. 5,457
- For 2 units: Sui gas bill = Rs. 15,496
- For 3 units: Sui gas bill = Rs. 32,144
Now, we can find the cost per unit by dividing the total bill amount by the number of units:
- For 1 unit: Cost per unit = Rs. 5,457 / 1 unit = Rs. 5,457 per unit
- For 2 units: Cost per unit = Rs. 15,496 / 2 units = Rs. 7,748 per unit
- For 3 units: Cost per unit = Rs. 32,144 / 3 units ≈ Rs. 10,715 per unit
So, the cost of Sui gas bill per unit for non-protected consumers in Pakistan varies depending on the consumption level, ranging from approximately Rs. 5,457 per unit for a single unit to around Rs. 10,715 per unit for three units.

2. Fixed Charges
Consumers are subject to fixed monthly charges, which vary based on category and consumption levels. These charges contribute to the operational costs associated with gas supply infrastructure.
