India’s PNGRB and the Oil Ministry launch National PNG Drive 3.0 to accelerate piped natural gas (PNG) adoption, with a target of adding around 50 lakh D-PNG connections by March 2027. The initiative also focuses on bringing additional customers into the active pipeline segment and expanding the customer base over a defined timeframe ending 31 March 2027.
Across outlets, the stated objectives include converting about 40 lakh unbilled connections into active users and registering roughly 50 lakh additional users by the end of the fiscal year 2027. The coverage frames the drive as part of broader efforts to support a transition for households from LPG to PNG by increasing network connections and participation.
While both reports align on the overall targets and timeframe, the emphasis differs slightly: one outlet presents the goals in terms of specific connection and user-conversion numbers, while the other highlights the partnership’s launch and the near-term objective of achieving 50 lakh D-PNG connections by March 2027.
