Cargoes from global suppliers: PLL receives 4 bids for spot LNG purchase

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan LNG Limited (PLL) has received four bids for the spot purchase of liquefied natural gas (LNG) cargoes from international suppliers. On April 24, 2026, PLL closed a tender for three 140, 000 cubic meter liquefied natural gas (LNG) cargoes to meet immediate power demands. This urgent tender, intended for late April and May delivery, follows disruptions in supply routes and subsequent load-shedding. The company is looking to procure cargoes of around 140, 000 cubic metres each on a delivered-ex-ship basis for delivery at Port Qasim in Karachi. The delivery windows are April 27-30, May 1-7, and May 8-14, with bids set to close on Friday.
