PNG connections are rising. LPG use isn’t going down\u00a0despite government orders directing people to adopt alternative cooking gas options. Since the national PNG drive began, 6.5 lakh new connections were installed by March-end \u2014 but actual supply demand was 18% lower, suggesting many households signed up without really switching. LPG consumers have nearly doubled over the last decade to 33.5 crore, while PNG users remain at just 1.64 crore.<\/p>
The government wants this to change fast and\u00a0is responding with stricter rules heading into June.\u00a0Here’s what’s actually changing, what it means for the millions still dependent on their cylinders, and whether the push to PNG is working at all.<\/p>
One Household, One Connection rule<\/strong><\/p> Under the revised rule, households that already have PNG connections may be required to surrender their LPG connections. Oil marketing companies (OMCs) have started identifying homes using PNG and LNG simultaneously to curb misuse, hoarding and black marketing of domestic cylinders.<\/p> Holding both connections for the same address is being treated as a prohibited activity under the amended LPG rules. Those having PNG infrastructure in their locality could face suspension or automatic cancellation of LPG supply if they don’t switch to PNG within the prescribed period.\u00a0<\/p> DO CHECKOUT |\u00a0Have PNG connection at home? You can pause LPG connection instead of cancelling forever<\/strong><\/p> LPG connection transfer voucher<\/strong><\/p> Since users are asked to terminate their LPG connection within 30 days of getting a PNG connection, the government has allowed these customers to restore their LPG connection. It allows users to reactivate LPG connections later if they move to areas without PNG access.\u00a0<\/p> Refill bans<\/strong><\/p> From this month, households identified with active PNG pipelines are being blocked from booking or refilling domestic LPG cylinders. City Gas Distribution (CGD) companies and OMCs have now fully integrated their digital databases.\u00a0<\/p> DON’T MISS THIS |\u00a0Countering LPG crisis: Why India is evaluating ethanol cooktops to safeguard kitchens<\/strong><\/p> PNG Drive 2.0 to end on June 30<\/strong><\/p> The Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board (PNGRB) has directed CGDs to expedite D-PNG connections. The National PNG Drive 2.0 has been extended till June 30 to encourage PNG expansion and make its usage simpler, safer and seamless.\u00a0<\/p> Gas cylinder booking lock-in period<\/strong><\/p> LPG refill lock-in periods have been extended from 21 days to 25 days for urban users and up to 45 days for rural users to control supply shortages and misuse.\u00a0<\/p> Connection, subsidy rules<\/strong><\/p> Households will continue to receive only 12 subsidised domestic cylinders annually. Additional cylinders are charged at market price. Taking a new LPG connection would now involve revised deposits and setup charges, including regulator, hose and installation fees.\u00a0<\/p> <\/div> LPG new rules 2026, gas cylinder new rules June 2026, LPG policy changes 2026, Indane gas new rules, Bharat Gas new rules, HP Gas new rules, PNG vs LPG rules India, LPG connection cancellation rules, one household one gas connection policy, LPG PNG mandatory switch, LPG booking rule changes, LPG refill lock in period, LPG OTP delivery verification, LPG subsidy rules 2026, domestic gas cylinder rules India, LPG connection surrender rules, PNG connection impact on LPG, LPG refill booking limit, LPG KYC verification rules, LPG delivery OTP system, LPG price hike 2026, commercial LPG cylinder price hike, domestic LPG cylinder latest update, LPG subsidy limit India, gas cylinder policy update, oil marketing companies LPG rules, LPG duplicate connection crackdown, new LPG connection rules India, LPG compliance deadline June 2026, Indane Bharat Gas HP Gas update, LPG users new guidelines, cooking gas policy changes India, LPG news India, gas cylinder latest news, LPG consumers advisory, PNG adoption India, LPG and PNG dual connection rules, LPG refill restrictions India, domestic cooking gas latest rules, June 2026 LPG changes India, what are new LPG rules 2026, will LPG connections be cancelled after PNG, new rules for Indane gas customers, Bharat Gas latest policy update, HP Gas PNG advisory, LPG users mandatory KYC update, new gas cylinder booking rules India, government LPG policy 2026, LPG connection termination after PNG, LPG cylinder delivery OTP rule, domestic LPG reforms India, LPG subsidy and booking changes#LPG #rules #039One #Household #Connection039 #domestic #users #June1780105618<\/p> ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" PNG connections are rising.
