Five LNG cargoes that were supposed to arrive in Pakistan have been postponed by Qatar, with delivery not taking place until 2026.
Pakistan is dealing with persistent energy issues, such as acute gas shortages and growing demand, at the time of this decision.
The two nations have a long-term supply deal that included the delayed cargoes.
It is anticipated that the delay will worsen Pakistan’s energy situation, where officials have already been having difficulty supplying the nation with gas.
Experts point out that this delay may affect a number of industries, such as industrial production and power generation, making the country’s attempts to recover economically even more difficult.
