PLL Threatens to Cut Off RLNG Supplies to K-Electric Over Rs6.75 Billion Unpaid Bills
Pakistan LNG Limited (PLL) has sent a stern warning to K-Electric (KE) regarding unpaid RLNG bills amounting to Rs6.75 billion. The state-owned LNG supplier claims that the outstanding principal relates to supplies made between May and July 2026.
According to PLL, KE had neither cleared the outstanding receivables nor provided a substantive response despite repeated follow-ups. The company maintains that all invoices were raised in accordance with the Gas Sale Agreement (GSA) between the two companies and were based on the RLNG tariff notified by the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA).
PLL warns that continued RLNG supplies to KE are constrained by the financial exposure allowed under the existing Standby Letter of Credit (SBLC) limit of Rs13.084 billion. The company also states that KE has not provided an enhanced SBLC reflecting the revised RLNG tariff despite repeated requests.
PLL warned that if the payment and credit-cover issues persisted, it could become unable to arrange additional LNG cargoes and may consequently reassess, curtail or suspend RLNG supplies to KE. The company again asked KE to immediately clear the outstanding payments.
