Gurugram residents get 90-Day deadline to switch from LPG to PNG as administration pushes clean fuel transition
Once the three-month window lapses, LPG supply in these notified areas will be gradually discontinued
Gurugram residents living in areas with piped gas infrastructure now have just three months to shift from LPG cylinders to piped natural gas (PNG), with the district administration announcing a phased withdrawal of LPG supply beyond the deadline.
Deputy Commissioner Ajay Kumar said the move is aimed at promoting cleaner, safer, and more efficient fuel alternatives across the city. Residents in localities where authorised agencies have already laid PNG pipelines have been urged to apply for domestic connections within 90 days of the notice.
“Consumers must apply for PNG connections within three months to ensure an uninterrupted and hassle-free gas supply. PNG is not only safer but also eliminates the inconvenience of cylinder replacement,” the DC said.
The administration has made it clear that once the three-month window lapses, LPG supply in these notified areas will be gradually discontinued. The phased withdrawal is part of a broader push to transition urban households towards cleaner energy sources and reduce dependency on cylinder-based fuel systems.
Officials highlighted that PNG offers multiple advantages over LPG, including continuous supply, improved safety due to lower storage risks, and environmental benefits. Unlike LPG cylinders, PNG is supplied directly through pipelines, reducing logistical challenges and risks associated with storage and transport.
The directive comes at a time when Gurugram has been grappling with periodic LPG supply disruptions and rising fuel costs, making the transition to PNG a more viable and stable option for many households. Authorities believe the shift will not only streamline domestic fuel consumption but also contribute to lowering the city’s carbon footprint.
Residents have been encouraged to approach authorised gas distribution agencies operating in their respective sectors and colonies to initiate the connection process at the earliest. The administration has also appealed to citizens to cooperate with the initiative and adopt PNG as a long-term sustainable solution.
The push for PNG expansion aligns with broader urban infrastructure goals in Gurugram, where authorities are increasingly focusing on modern utilities and environmentally sustainable systems to support the city’s rapid growth.
With the countdown now in effect, households in eligible areas will need to act swiftly or risk losing access to LPG altogether.
