CGD companies offer free gas, fee waivers
Business Standard
|March 17, 2026
India's city gas distribution (CGD) companies are offering incentives to promote domestic piped natural gas (PNG) connections as the country faces a shortage of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) amid the West Asia crisis.
CGD companies, including Indraprastha Gas Ltd (IGL) and GAIL Gas Ltd, are offering free gas worth around 500 for domestic consumers. Mahanagar Gas Ltd (MGL) has waived registration charges of about 500 for domestic PNG consumers and security deposits for commercial users. Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd (BPCL) has also announced a waiver of security deposits for all commercial connections.
The move comes as the government urges consumers to shift to natural gas amid disruptions in LPG supplies from West Asia.
India imports about 60 per cent of its LPG requirement, nearly 90 per cent of which is sourced from the region.
