Pakistan State Oil (PSO) has
launched a new oil product
designed specifically for

in Pakistan
Tuesday, 31 January 2006
Compressed natural gas (CNG)
development in Pakistan started
in the mid eighties when HDIP*
set up two CNG refueling
stations in Karachi and
Islamabad (major cities of
Pakistan). Due to excellent
production and distribution of
natural gas in Pakistan, today
there are more than 800 CNG
refueling stations operational
either at existing petrol
stations or separately on
dedicated sites. 300 more are
expected in the coming six
months.
CNG, being a well proven
alternative fuel with passage of
time, has increased its
consumers in Pakistan to almost
900,000 vehicles making Pakistan
the 3rd largest user of CNG
vehicles in the world after
Argentina and Brazil. Around
150,000 vehicles are converting
