thebalanced.newsIndia Launches Online Portal for LPG Surrender and Simplifies PNG Connection Process
The Indian Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas has launched the MyPNG-D Portal, enabling consumers who switch to piped natural gas (PNG) to surrender their LPG connections online using their registered mobile number or LPG ID, eliminating the need to visit dealerships. Since its launch, 1,797 users have surrendered LPG connections to help redistribute them to households without PNG access. Meanwhile, obtaining a PNG connection involves an online application, document submission, verification, and installation, offering a cleaner, continuous, and often cheaper cooking fuel alternative.
