> SSGC is repairing its 24-inch Sher Shah mainline overnight. Baldia Town, Ittehad Town, Saeedabad and Naval Colony may lose gas, and Orangi, SITE and nearby areas may see low pressure.

**Gas load shedding in Karachi:** Sui Southern Gas Company (SSGC) will shut off gas supply in parts of west Karachi from **10pm on Saturday 17 October until 9am on Sunday 18 October 2026**, the company announced on Friday, [ARY News reported](https://arynews.tv/ssgc-announces-saturday-night-gas-shutdown-in-karachi). The shutdown is for repair work on SSGC's **24-inch Sher Shah mainline** and is temporary, the company said.

## Areas that may lose gas

* Baldia Town
* Ittehad Town
* Saeedabad
* Naval Colony

## Areas that may get low pressure

* Musharraf Colony and Mawach Goth
* Parts of Orangi Town, Gulshan-e-Bahar, Gulshan-e-Zia, Sector 16 and Ghaziabad
* Altaf Nagar, Mehran City and Ramzan Goth
* **SITE Industrial Area**, where pressure may drop

SSGC warned that if the work runs past 9am, pressure could stay low in these areas for longer on Sunday morning.

## What to do

* **Cook and fill water early.** Plan Saturday dinner before 10pm and keep breakfast simple, since supply returns at 9am at the earliest.
* **Turn off appliances and pilot lights** before you sleep, and check that the stove knobs are closed so gas does not escape when supply resumes.
* **Factories in SITE** should plan Sunday morning shifts around a possible pressure drop.
* For complaints, use the helpline printed on your SSGC bill.

## Gas supply this winter

SSGC's management has told Petroleum Minister Ali Pervaiz Malik that unaccounted-for gas losses have fallen by about 57% in volume and that domestic consumers are receiving gas three times a day, while K-Electric, industry and fertiliser plants face no gas load shedding.
