Energy crisis: Govt pushes for PNG connections, asks all ministries to assess demand
NEW DELHI: Amid the LPG supply crunch, the Centre has asked all ministries to assess the potential demand of piped natural gas (PNG) across canteens and pantries at govt departments and offices, and push for its expansion.
It has also urged govt establishments, residential colonies and canteens to switch to PNG, while city gas distribution (CGD) companies are being extended support to expand their networks. The push for PNG is also aimed at reducing dependence on imported LPG in the long term.
