Apply Online for New Domestic Gas Connection 2025 – Complete SNGPL LNG Meter Registration Guide

As of 2025, Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited (SNGPL) has introduced a new, fully digital system for domestic gas connections in Pakistan. All new residential gas connections will now be based on LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) — replacing the old natural gas system. This means previous applications for natural gas are no longer valid, and citizens must reapply under the updated online process.

Whether you are a first-time applicant or had a pending demand notice, this complete guide covers the online registration process, required documents, fees, priority system, and installation steps to help you secure your new LNG connection without delays.

🔄 What’s New in 2025?

✅ Natural gas connections discontinued – Only LNG-based connections are available.
✅ Online-only application system – Manual submissions are not accepted.
✅ Special portal for old demand notice holders – Priority service is available.
✅ Updated fee structure – Fees now depend on property size and urgency.
✅ Neighbour verification required – A recent gas bill from a neighboring property must be submitted.
