Power sector may be allowed LNG import
As the country faces electricity outages due to shortage of gas, the government is looking towards the power sector for liquefied natural gas (LNG) import by utilising the idle capacity of LNG terminals. The government is set to amend the policy that will allocate the unutilised capacity of LNG terminals to power plants for the import of gas for their own use. So far, Pakistan LNG Limited (PLL) has maintained its monopoly over LNG terminals and the allocation of their unutilised capacity, though it has never been able to utilise the full capacity of these terminals.

Power sector again tops FDI inflows in August 2026
Pakistan's power sector attracted the largest gross foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows in August 2026, receiving $98.7m, according to provisional data released by the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP). With outflows of just $10.9m, the sector's net FDI rose to $87.8m, up 52.70% month-on-month (MoM) from $57.5m in July 2026, and up 1.04% year-on-year (YoY) from $86.9m in August 2025. The improvement was driven largely by a sharp pullback in outflows, which fell 73.15% MoM to $10.9m from $40.6m in July, even as gross inflows held broadly steady, edging up 0.61% MoM from $98.1m and 0.92% YoY from $97.8m.
