Karachi, January 9, 2026 — Ghandhara Tyre and Rubber Company Limited has announced the temporary suspension of its manufacturing plant operations due to a shortage in gas supply, the company confirmed on Friday. The notification was shared with the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) to inform investors and stakeholders about the operational adjustment.
According to the company, the gas supply from the Sui Southern Gas Company (SSGC) has been reduced, leading to lower gas availability and decreased gas pressure at the plant. As a result, Ghandhara Tyre has decided to halt production at its facility on Monday, January 12, 2026.
Despite the suspension of manufacturing activities, the company assured that it does not anticipate any negative impact on its sales or market supply. All regional offices and distribution networks will remain fully operational, ensuring uninterrupted delivery of tyres to customers across the country.
Industry analysts note that gas shortages have been affecting manufacturing sectors in Pakistan, causing temporary shutdowns and production delays. Ghandhara Tyre’s proactive communication with the PSX reflects its commitment to transparency and maintaining investor confidence amid operational challenges.
The company emphasized that it is closely monitoring the situation and will resume plant operations as soon as sufficient gas supply is restored. Customers and stakeholders have been encouraged to stay in touch with regional offices for updates regarding product availability and distribution schedules.
This temporary suspension highlights the broader impact of energy supply constraints on Pakistan’s industrial sector, particularly in energy-intensive industries like rubber and tyre manufacturing.
