Centre pushes states to speed up PNG adoption, seeks district-level officers to drive LPG-to-gas transition

The Petroleum Ministry is urging states to appoint district-level officers for PNG adoption. This move aims to accelerate the transition from LPG to piped natural gas for households. PNG offers a safer and cleaner cooking fuel, reducing logistical burdens. The government is implementing regulations to prevent dual connections in PNG-available areas. This initiative strengthens India's energy transition and supply chain resilience.
