A business forum has warned that disruptions in LNG supply could hit industry hard, Business Recorder reported. The concern reflects how manufacturers that rely on gas need predictable fuel availability to plan production runs and meet customer deadlines.

When a fuel supply becomes uncertain, companies may face difficult choices: secure alternatives, reschedule output or carry higher inventory. Each option can raise costs, and the effects may travel through supplier networks to customers.

The warning describes a risk rather than a quantified production loss. The scale of any impact will depend on how long supply is disrupted, which sectors are affected and what replacement energy is available.
