City-gas distribution entities lag on minimum work programme: PNGRB

Only 12 million cooking gas connections have been extended by city-gas distribution (CGD) entities so far, which is half of their total prorated commitments of 22 million connections, the Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board (PNGRB) has said.

In an emailed response to Business Standard, PNGRB said that this is the reason for issuing letters to defaulting

entities to complete their minimum work programme (MWP) commitments and striving to open up gas infrastructure for common usage.
