If you live in Pakistan, you already know how frustrating the natural gas shortages can get, especially in winter. I remember one December morning when the stove just refused to light up, and I ended up making tea on an electric kettle! It was then that I started looking for a reliable sui gas cylinder option.
Thankfully, SNGPL (Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited) has introduced an official and hassle-free solution: the SNGPL LPG Cylinder. Instead of running after local distributors and worrying about overcharging, now you can book your gas cylinder directly through SNGPL.
The SNGPL’s Solution for Your Gas Needs
In response to growing demand, SNGPL launched the “SNGPL ConnectOn LPG” mobile application. This app is the official platform for SNGPL cylinder booking.
Here’s why it’s better than buying from the open market:
- Transparent pricing: No haggling or fear of being overcharged.
- Safe and original supply: Cylinders are properly checked, sealed, and delivered by SNGPL’s official team.
- Convenience: Book from your phone in just a few taps.
- Choice of delivery or pickup: You don’t need to chase distributors anymore.
Currently, the service is available in selected cities, but it’s gradually expanding. I personally used it in Islamabad, and I was surprised at how smooth the process was compared to dealing with private vendors.
How to Book Your SNGPL LPG Cylinder: Step-by-Step Guide
Booking your SNGPL gas cylinder is simple if you follow the process. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
Step 1: Download the App
- Go to your mobile’s App Store (Google Play for Android, App Store for iPhone).

- Download and install the app.
Step 2: Register Your Profile
Open the app and register with:

This step ensures your order is officially linked to your profile.
Step 3: Select Your Cylinder
You’ll see two options:

Add your choice to the cart.
Step 4: The SNGPL Cylinder Booking Process

I once ordered two 11.8 kg cylinders, and both were delivered neatly sealed within two days.
Step 5: Choose Payment & Delivery
- Payment: Currently, only Cash on Delivery is available.
- Delivery: Choose between home delivery or self-pickup from an SNGPL distribution point.
I tried home delivery, and the staff even helped set it up safely in my kitchen.
SNGPL LPG Cylinder Price and Charges
One of the biggest questions users ask is: “What is the SNGPL LPG cylinder price?”
Here’s a breakdown:
- Price is based on the official LPG per kg rate set by OGRA.
- Multiply the per kg rate by the cylinder size (11.8 kg or 44.4 kg).
- As of the last update, prices roughly came to:
- 11.8 kg cylinder: Around Rs. 3,500
- 44.4 kg cylinder: Around Rs. 13,000
Additional charges may apply:
- Security deposit (for the cylinder itself, usually refundable)
- Regulator charges (if required for first-time setup)
- Service charges depending on delivery
💡 Why go with SNGPL instead of open market?
In the open market, I noticed dealers sometimes charged Rs. 200–400 extra per refill. With SNGPL, the rate is transparent and government-approved, so you know exactly what you’re paying.
