The Chhattisgarh Government has approved the Urban Gas Distribution Policy 2026 to broaden access to piped natural gas (PNG) reinforcing the state’s commitment to India’s clean energy transition. The policy establishes a comprehensive framework for the phased expansion of city gas distribution (CGD) infrastructure, with primary focus on securing last-mile connectivity and delivering reliable, affordable and environment friendly fuel to residential households, commercial establishments and industries.
The initiative is expected to attract large scale investment in pipeline construction, pressure stations, metering systems and operations management, and generate employment across construction and engineering sectors.
