Nonetheless, receivables from Sui Northern gas Company jumped to Rs. 67 billion, up by Rs. 2 billion since June, 2019. These changes suggests that the circular debt has now shifted from FO to LNG.  

With respect to its future plans, the management of the company informed that it is planning to expand its working storage via a number of strategies, including conversion of FO storage to MOGAS/HSD, addition of new storage, and rehabilitation of existing storage. Furthermore, this expansion will take place over the next three years.
