April 6, 2026 (MLN): Agritech Limited (PSX: AGL)  has declared that its Urea plant has been temporarily shut down following a suspension of gas supply by Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited (SNGPL).

The utility has declared Force Majeure after pipeline damage caused by flash floods in the Baka Khel area, according to the company's issued today.

Gas supply is expected to resume once repair work is completed, and the plant will remain non-operational until then. Further updates will be communicated in due course.

This is the second disruption to Agritech’s operations in recent weeks.

On March 4, 2026, the company had faced an operational shutdown at its Urea plant .

The earlier disruption was triggered by a “Potential Event of Force Majeure” declared by the LNG supplier, following ongoing regional conflicts in the Middle East that affected LNG production facilities and disrupted domestic supply.

RLNG supply to the plant was halted from 00:00 hours on March 4, 2026, until March 13, when SNGPL restored gas supply, allowing operations to resume.

The current shutdown highlights continued vulnerability of fertilizer production to external factors such as natural disasters and international supply disruptions.

Agritech is closely monitoring the situation and coordinating with SNGPL to restore operations at the earliest possible time.
