According to federal minister of petroleum Musadiq Malik, there are ten fertiliser factories in the nation, and the cost of petrol varies depending on the plant.
In response to a query in the Senate, the Minister of Petroleum stated that indigenous gas supplies to these plants do not involve any subsidies.
Additionally, the Minister stated that two of the nation’s plants run on subsidised LNG, with the difference being cross-subsidized to recover costs from RLNG users.

It was asked by both parties that the PTI Senator be suspended for a full two working days.
