July 07, 2026 [Engro Vopak]- Engro Vopak Terminal Limited (EVTL), Pakistan’s leading chemical and gas terminal operator, has partnered with S&P Global Energy, one of the world’s foremost providers of energy market intelligence and advisory services, to initiate a feasibility assessment for the expansion of its LPG infrastructure. Building on EVTL’s three-decade track record of developing critical energy infrastructure, the initiative marks another step towards strengthening Pakistan’s energy future.

Pakistan’s growing reliance on LPG, driven by rising energy demand and declining domestic gas production, is increasing the need for enhanced import and storage infrastructure. Over the past decade, LPG consumption has grown steadily and is expected to continue expanding as households, commercial users, and industries increasingly turn to LPG to meet their energy requirements. Current market assessments indicate that Pakistan could face a significant LPG supply gap in the coming years, making strategic investments in large-scale infrastructure critical to support long-term energy security.

Through this study, EVTL will evaluate the development of Pakistan’s first refrigerated LPG import and storage infrastructure to strengthen the LPG supply chain and address the country’s growing LPG demand. The proposed project aims to improve access to global LPG markets, enable the handling of larger cargo volumes, enhance storage capacity, and support a more resilient, reliable, and flexible LPG supply chain.

Syed Ammar Shah, CEO of Engro Vopak and Engro Elengy Terminal Limited, said:

“As Pakistan’s energy landscape evolves, strengthening LPG supply chains and expanding access to global LPG markets will become increasingly important to meeting future energy demand. By combining the global expertise of Royal Vopak of Netherlands with Engro’s engineering skills and understanding of local market dynamics, we are well-positioned to develop infrastructure that will enhance energy security and support sustainable economic growth. Many mature economies have already adopted refrigerated LPG infrastructure, and this study presents an opportunity to evaluate how Pakistan can align itself with global practices while strengthening the country’s long-term energy security and resilience.”
