Bangladesh Suspends New Gas Connections Amid Worsening Crisis

The Bangladesh government has suspended new gas connections for industries due to a worsening gas crisis.

Domestic gas production has been declining every week, with output falling by over 1 billion cubic feet in the past decade.

Liquefied natural gas (LNG) imports have failed to make up the shortfall, and infrastructure constraints limit further imports.

The government is exploring alternative solutions, including importing LNG from Malaysia using ISO tanks, but this will take at least a year to implement.
