LPG crisis ‘fuels’ PNG expansion push in Lucknow

The ongoing LPG supply disruption in Lucknow has not only inconvenienced thousands of households but also triggered a shift in the city’s domestic fuel landscape, with piped natural gas (PNG) emerging as a viable alternative.

What initially appeared to be a temporary supply bottleneck is now being seen as a turning point. Residents say the shortage has exposed structural weaknesses in the cylinder-based distribution system, prompting both consumers and policymakers to explore more reliable and efficient options.
