Residents across Punjab, especially in Lahore, have been waiting for clarity regarding gas availability during the holy month. The updated Punjab gas supply timings for Ramadan 2026 have now been officially announced to help households plan Sehri and Iftar preparations without uncertainty.
Here is a complete and verified breakdown of the new schedule, complaint procedure, and what consumers should expect during Ramadan.
Revised Punjab Gas Supply Timings for Ramadan
According to Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited (SNGPL), the revised supply plan for Ramadan 2026 is as follows:
Daily Gas Availability:
🕒 3:00 AM to 10:30 PM
This schedule applies to Lahore and multiple districts across Punjab under the SNGPL network.
The extended supply window is designed to ensure that families can comfortably prepare meals for both Sehri and Iftar without facing severe load management interruptions during peak hours.
What Has Changed This Year?
Unlike previous Ramadan arrangements where gas was sometimes limited strictly to peak cooking hours, SNGPL has indicated that it aims to maintain supply throughout the announced timeframe rather than restricting it to short intervals.
This approach is intended to:
-
Reduce pressure during Sehri rush hours
-
Improve evening cooking convenience
-
Minimize sudden supply disruptions
-
Provide a more predictable routine for households
However, actual pressure levels may vary depending on area demand and infrastructure capacity.
What to Do If Gas Pressure Is Low?
Consumers experiencing low pressure or interruptions can lodge complaints directly with SNGPL.
📞 Helpline: 1199
When registering a complaint, keep the following details ready:

A structured supply schedule helps balance residential needs while maintaining network stability.
