According to the official data, spearheaded by entities authorized by the Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board (PNGRB), the CGD network now spans 307 Geographical Areas (GAs), covering nearly 100% of the country’s geographical area except islands, touching around 784 districts across 34 states and Union Territories. PNGRB has been actively promoting the adoption of PNG as a clean and sustainable fuel.
In FY 2024-25, approximately 21 lakh new domestic PNG connections were added, contributing to an 11% increase in gas sales across the country.
The concerted efforts of PNGRB, in close coordination with state governments and central authorities, are facilitating the development of the City Gas Distribution (CGD) network across the country.
These developments will be a force multiplier towards realizing India’s vision of a gas-based economy, ensuring energy security, environmental sustainability, and equitable access to clean fuel across all regions.
