In a notable development, Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board (PNGRB) has launched National Piped Natural Gas (PNG) Drive from January 26, 2024 to March 31, 2024. The campaign, in collaboration with city gas distribution (CGD) firms, aims to foster widespread adoption of domestic PNG and broaden the consumer base across various segments of the population.
It will focus on areas with existing or upcoming gas pipeline networks. CGD firms will conduct various promotional activities, door to door campaigns, road shows to encourage and enrol customers for PNG adoption.
The initiative aligns with the vision to increase the share of natural gas in the country’s energy basket to 15 per cent by 2030, thus transforming the country into a gas-based economy.
