Expansion of Piped Natural Gas (PNG) Services in Urban India

planned

A project aimed at accelerating the expansion of Piped Natural Gas (PNG) network across urban India to provide safer, reliable, affordable, and environmentally sustainable energy compared to LPG. The project focuses on overcoming challenges such as delays in municipal permissions, Right of Way approvals, and high restoration charges. Key priorities include institutionalisation of single-window approvals, integration of PNG infrastructure into urban planning, facilitation of last-mile connectivity, and convergence with ongoing urban development initiatives. The target is to provide 50 lakh new PNG connections.
