Qatar has announced the postponement of five liquefied natural gas (LNG) cargoes scheduled for Pakistan, delaying their delivery until 2026.
This decision comes as Pakistan faces ongoing energy challenges, including severe gas shortages and rising demand.
The postponed cargoes were part of a long-term supply agreement between the two countries.
The delay is expected to exacerbate the energy crisis in Pakistan, where authorities have already been struggling to meet the country’s gas needs.
Experts highlight that this postponement could impact various sectors, including power generation and industrial production, further complicating the nation’s economic recovery efforts.
