Gas supply will be shut off for up to 20 hours in parts of Bangladesh, including the capital Dhaka, on Thursday as utilities move pipelines and carry out emergency maintenance, a disruption that will hit households, businesses and factory operations in two of the country’s key urban markets.
Bangladesh gas supply shuts off in Dhaka and Bogura
Titas Gas says supply will stop for eight hours from 1 p.m. to 9 p.m. in parts of Dhaka, including Basabo, Khilgaon, Madartek, Shahjahanpur, Sipahibagh, Tilpapara, Malibagh, Shantibagh and Taltala Market, to tie in valves and relocate distribution lines linked to the Dhaka Elevated Expressway project near Shahjahanpur rail crossing.

West Zone Power Distribution Company Ltd. said gas will be cut in Bogura city and nearby areas for 20 straight hours from 8 p.m. Thursday to 6 p.m. Friday for emergency tie-in and maintenance on the Banani-to-Three-Matha pipeline. The shutdown covers residential, commercial, industrial, captive power and CNG stations.
The outages underscore the strain on Bangladesh’s urban gas network, where infrastructure work and maintenance interruptions can quickly ripple into transport, power generation and small business activity. For investors and operators, the immediate impact is operational rather than market-moving, but it highlights the continuing vulnerability of gas-dependent supply chains in a country where fuel interruptions can disrupt output, raise costs and pressure service reliability.
Broader energy-market signals remain sensitive as natural gas prices globally have been volatile and winter storage concerns have kept attention on supply security, even if this is a local distribution issue rather than an upstream shortage. The immediate catalyst now is the Thursday shutdown window, with pressure likely to ease only after the pipeline work is completed and gas service resumes.
