Delhi residents rush to apply for new piped gas connections
March 13, 2026
|Hindustan Times Delhi
Calls seeking domestic piped natural gas (PNG) connections in Delhi have nearly tripled in the past week, officials of Indraprastha Gas Limited (IGL) said.
IGL said it is now receiving around 300 calls daily for new PNG connections, compared to roughly 100 calls a day until last week. The spike comes amid reports of LPG shortages in the city and rising black marketing of cylinders.
Officials said additional teams have been mobilised to handle the surge, with the company currently able to opera-tionalise more than 1,000 domestic connections daily in Delhi.
“Efforts are being made to install as many new domestic connections as possible. For this, additional manpower has also been deployed,” an IGL official said.
