LAHORE: Engro Elengy Terminal Private Limited (EETL) could not expand its re-gasified liquified natural gas (RLNG) capacity due to red-tapism, while the approvals are awaiting clearance from National Accountability Bureau (NAB), The News learnt on Wednesday.

Misinformation of this degree is propagated only to halt progress and, instead, protect the existing monopolistic structure of today’s gas market,” a company official said, requesting anonymity.
