Due to the ongoing conflict in West Asia, there is a shortage of LPG cylinders. To manage this situation, the government has introduced a new rule encouraging people in areas with piped natural gas (PNG) to gradually shift from LPG to PNG.
Under this rule, gas companies will first send you a notice and give you around three months to get a PNG connection. If you do not switch within this time, your LPG supply may be stopped.
This means that in areas where PNG is available, depending on LPG cylinders may soon become difficult.
How to Check PNG Availability in Your Area
You can check whether PNG is available in your area both online and offline. The easiest method is to visit the official website of your city’s gas provider.
Different companies provide PNG services in different cities across India, such as Indraprastha Gas Limited (IGL), Mahanagar Gas Limited (MGL), and Adani Total Gas Limited.
On their websites, you will find options like “Check PNG Availability” or “Apply for PNG Connection.” You simply need to enter your area name, pin code, or full address to know if PNG is available in your location.
