The PNG connections are provided as per Minimum Work Programme (MWP) authorised by PNGRB. PNGRB has authorised 300 geographical areas (GAs) covering about 98 per cent of the population and 88 per cent of the total GA of the country, covering around 630 districts in 28 states/ union territories across the country for the development of the city gas distribution (CGD) target.
