Indraprastha Gas Limited Reduces Domestic PNG Prices In Delhi-NCR | Check New Rates

Indraprastha Gas Limited (IGL), India’s leading CNG retailer, on Wednesday announced a substantial reduction in its domestic Piped Natural Gas (PNG) prices for this coming New Year for its consumers in Delhi and NCR by ₹0.70 per Standard Cubic Meter (SCM).

The revised price after reduction shall be ₹47.89 per SCM in Delhi, ₹46.70 per SCM in Gurugram and ₹47.76 per SCM in Noida, Greater Noida and Ghaziabad.

IGL operates city gas distribution (CGD) networks across 30 districts in 11 geographical areas across four states of Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana and Rajasthan.

The government aims to have 12.5 crore PNG connections by 2030 in rural and urban areas.

In India, the poor have limited access to clean cooking gas. This is not only harmful to those

cooking but also the environment as it involves the burning of coal, wood and cow dung.

The LPG cylinders, until a few years ago, were only limited to urban and semi-urban areas among the better income class.

Piped gas is convenient as there will be no need to handle, refill and change cylinders. It will also be more economical as it reduces transportation costs apart from being safer. It can be consistently supplied and there is no hassle over gas running out at odd hours.

Providing PNG connections is part of the development of the city gas distribution network, which is carried out by the entities authorised as per the minimum work programme (MWP) targets provided by the Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board (PNGRB) and techno-commercial feasibility.
