Launches New Gas Bill SSGC Campaigns 2025

In January, SSGC introduced an educational “duplicate bill” campaign aimed at clarifying charges for both protected (≤ 90 CM/month) and non-protected domestic consumers. The campaign is meant to incentivize energy conservation through transparent billing.
Example comparisons highlight the difference: at 20 CM, a protected consumer pays Rs 650, while a non-protected one pays Rs 1,440—showing clear financial motivation to stay within lower usage tiers.

Here’s a snapshot of the 2025 gas tariffs and fixed charges for domestic customers (based on monthly consumption):

Category	Fixed Charge	Usage Rate Examples (Rs/MMBTU)
Protected	Rs 400/month	121–250 (slabs ≤ 0.9 hm³ = 90 CM)
Non-protected	Rs 1,000–2,000/month	300–4,000+ (higher slabs > 0.9 hm³)

Usage rates are slab-based: first 0.25 hm³ is cheaper, rising progressively for higher consumption.
Minimum monthly charges differ slightly too—Rs 107 (protected) vs Rs 177 (non-protected)
Another source reaffirms slab rates: up to 0.5 hm³ @ ‎Rs 121; 0.6–1 hm³ @ Rs 300; 1.1–2 hm³ @ Rs 553; and topping out at Rs 3,102 for usage above 4 hm³

Transparent billing helps consumers easily spot their slab rate, fixed vs variable charges, and GST/other levies—facilitating better budgeting.
Conservation incentive: Staying under the 90 CM threshold (protected slab) can slash usage rates and reduce bills drastically.
Empowerment through information: The duplicate bill campaign arms users with data to challenge discrepancies and adjust consumption behavior.

Download duplicate bill statements via SSGC’s portal to see your billing breakdown.
Compare your monthly usage with the protected threshold (≤ 90 CM) to assess if you’re in the lower-rate bracket.
Monitor appliance usage—turning off geysers or heaters when not needed can keep you within protected slabs and lower charges.
Report any meter irregularities, suspect billing errors, or website issues to SSGC helpline or citizen porta

SSGC 2025 Updates

Aimed primarily at gas‑appliance safety in colder regions, SSGC launched the program November 2024 in Balochistan, with support from local scholars and media.
Measures included urging use of quality GI pipes (not rubber), and sharing safety tips and fatal accident case studies.

During March 2025, SSGC announced gas availability windows: 3 AM–9 AM (Sehri) and 3:30 PM–10 PM (Iftar) for Sindh & Balochistan.
Outside these hours, consumers experience load-shedding, implemented to balance supply amid ~10% annual depletion in domestic gas reserves.

SSGC guaranteed “stable and uninterrupted” supply from Chand Raat through the third day of Eid (March 31 onward), with a 24/7 helpline (1199) active for any service issues.

Bill transparency & conservation: Educating users about slabs and charges empowers cost-saving.
Safety emphasis: Targeted messaging for winter mitigates appliance risks.
Cultural sensitivity in supply scheduling: Timed availability during religious events balances consumer needs and operational constraints.

Compare your monthly consumption with tariff slabs—keeping usage under 90 CM can significantly reduce your bill.
Monitor gas appliances and piping, especially during winter.
