Winter Gas Schedule Announced for Punjab and KP – SNGPL Issues Timings 2025-26
The Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited (SNGPL) has officially announced a revised winter gas schedule for domestic users in Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, effective from December to February. The new schedule introduces three fixed gas supply windows each day to ensure fair and consistent distribution during the peak winter season.
According to SNGPL officials, households will receive gas during the following three time slots:
| Supply Window | Timing |
| Morning | 5:30 AM to 8:30 AM |
| Midday | 11:30 AM to 1:30 PM |
| Evening | 5:30 PM to 8:30 PM |
Officials Advise Consumers to Plan Meals Within Supply Hours
SNGPL management has advised families to plan their cooking and heating activities within these specific time frames. The officials said, “Consumers are requested to prepare breakfast, lunch, and dinner during these windows to avoid inconvenience.”
They added that this schedule has been designed to balance the limited gas supply available in the system with the rising winter demand across Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
No Load-Shedding for Industrial Sector
While domestic consumers will follow the new gas schedule, SNGPL confirmed that the industrial sector will not face gas load-shedding. Officials stated that ensuring uninterrupted gas supply to industries is vital for maintaining economic stability and industrial output during the winter months.

With the onset of winter, gas consumption has increased sharply, particularly for home heating and cooking. Officials clarified that while demand remains high, adequate gas pressure is being maintained across the system.
An SNGPL spokesperson mentioned that responsible usage by consumers will help ensure stable supply for all. “Gas is an expensive and limited resource. Households must use it wisely and only as per their needs,” the spokesperson added.
Public Reaction and Concerns
Residents in both provinces have expressed mixed reactions. While some appreciate the predictable schedule allowing them to manage household chores better, others have raised concerns about inconvenience during off-hours, especially for families with school-going children or working members.
Many citizens have also urged SNGPL to consider increasing supply duration during severe cold waves, particularly in northern KP areas where gas demand peaks early morning and late night.
Key Takeaway
The Winter Gas Schedule 2025 by SNGPL aims to manage the increasing gas demand in Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa efficiently while ensuring fair distribution among domestic consumers.
Consumers are encouraged to:
- Cook meals during designated hours.
- Avoid using gas heaters continuously.
- Report low pressure or outages to SNGPL helpline immediately.
Final Word
With this revised schedule, SNGPL hopes to maintain stability in gas supply throughout the winter months. Citizens are urged to cooperate with the plan for a smooth and fair distribution system across the region.
