Engro Plans Expansion of LPG Infrastructure

Engro Vopak Terminal Limited (EVTL) has partnered with S&P Global Energy to assess the feasibility of expanding Pakistan's LPG infrastructure as the country seeks to address rising energy demand and declining domestic gas production.

 

According to the company, LPG consumption has increased steadily over the past decade and is expected to continue growing as households, commercial users, and industries increasingly rely on the fuel. Market projections indicate Pakistan could face a significant LPG supply shortfall in the coming years, highlighting the need for large-scale infrastructure investments to strengthen long-term energy security.

 

As part of the study, EVTL will evaluate the development of Pakistan's first refrigerated LPG import and storage terminal. The proposed project aims to improve access to international LPG markets, facilitate larger cargo imports, expand storage capacity, and build a more reliable and resilient LPG supply chain.

 

Syed Ammar Shah, Chief Executive Officer of Engro Vopak Terminal Limited and Engro Elengy Terminal Limited, said strengthening LPG infrastructure and improving access to global markets will play an important role in meeting the country's future energy needs.

 

He added that by combining Royal Vopak's international expertise with Engro's engineering capabilities and local market knowledge, the company is well positioned to develop infrastructure that enhances Pakistan's energy security while supporting sustainable economic growth. Shah also noted that refrigerated LPG infrastructure has become the global standard in many developed markets, and the feasibility study will help determine how Pakistan can adopt similar capabilities.
