Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board (PNGRB) is likely to launch a portal for people to apply for new PNG connections for their kitchens and commercial and industrial establishments.

The portal will enable applicants to track status of their request, and make the authority time bound for providing the connection.

The portal is expected to go live on October 1, 2026. The company is likely to launch Piped Natural Gas (PNG) drive 3.0 on the same day.
