At the same time, all CNG stations, including those operating on RLNG, will remain closed for 48 hours.
The suspension will start at 8:00 AM on Saturday, 31 January, and continue until 8:00 AM on Monday, 2 February, 2026.
The company stated that these steps have been taken due to the increased demand for gas in winter.
SSGC management believes that reducing supply to industrial users and CNG stations will help maintain better pressure for households and commercial consumers, who face difficulties during peak hours.
