Pakistan is reportedly planning to procure 25–26 liquefied natural gas (LNG) cargoes for delivery from November 2026 through February 2027. The plan, described by media outlets citing unnamed sources, is not yet a confirmed procurement schedule: approval and final supply terms have not been established.
What Pakistan is reportedly planning
Reports published on October 2, 2026, by ProPakistani and Raised by Numbers put the planned winter purchases at 25–26 cargoes, covering November through February. The headline figure of 26 is the upper end of that reported range, not confirmation that exactly 26 cargoes have been booked.

The reports say the government intends to combine long-term arrangements with Qatar and other friendly countries with spot-market purchases. They do not provide a supplier-by-supplier allocation or identify contracted volumes.
What the reported price means
The reports give a planned spot-purchase target of $26–$27 per MMBtu. That is a target described in media reporting, not a published award price, an executed transaction, or a confirmed price cap. Final terms and actual purchase prices have not been established.

Approval and proposed terminal-rule changes
According to the reports, the Petroleum Division was preparing a summary for the Cabinet Committee on Energy, with final approval still to be sought from the federal cabinet. No official approval notice or final procurement schedule was located in the cited reporting.
The reports also describe possible changes to LNG terminal rules, rather than changes already in force:
- Private power producers may be allowed to import LNG independently.
- Third-party access could allow users to take up unused terminal capacity.
The reports do not establish that either proposal has been approved or implemented.
How the plan compares with the previous winter
Both outlets cite sources saying Pakistan State Oil and Pakistan LNG Limited imported 36 cargoes during the previous winter. That comparison is also attributed to unnamed sources, not presented as an official tally in the reports. The reported 25–26 cargo plan is therefore a lower number than that cited previous-winter figure, but the available reporting does not explain how demand, other supply, or the eventual procurement mix would compare.

Procurement context
Pakistan LNG Limited’s September 2026 record on the Public Procurement Regulatory Authority of Pakistan identifies a closed international spot LNG tender intended to meet a demand-supply gap. It shows that spot tenders are part of the procurement context; it does not confirm the October winter plan or any purchase under it.
In a January 6, 2026 statement, the Ministry of Energy (Petroleum Division) said negotiations with Qatar had concluded to divert surplus cargoes to international markets while respecting contractual obligations. That earlier statement helps explain the changing supply context, but does not specify the cargoes or arrangements for winter 2026–27. Ministry of Energy (Petroleum Division)

The October 2 reports do not identify finalized suppliers, contracted volumes, awarded prices, or an approved schedule. Until official approvals or procurement records establish those details, the 25–26 cargoes, the $26–$27/MMBtu spot target, and the terminal-access changes should be treated as reported plans or proposals rather than settled policy or completed purchases.
