QUETTA: A sharp decline in liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) imports from Iran through the Taftan border crossing is creating supply shortages and affecting businesses, according to an LPG dealer.
LPG dealer Shaukat Isa Zai said only five to 10 LPG tankers are currently arriving each day from Iran via Taftan, describing the volume as significantly lower than usual. He said the reduced inflow has created a gap between supply and demand.
He added that LPG tankers are also entering through Gabd in the Gwadar region, but the area’s unloading capacity remains limited, restricting the amount of gas that can be distributed.
Isa Zai said the fall in supplies through Taftan has had a major impact on the LPG trade. He also claimed that the widening gap between supply and demand has pushed up LPG prices.
