LPG Distributors Announce Protest Over Promotion of Piped Natural Gas Connections
The LPG Distributors' Association of India (LDAI) plans a nationwide protest at Jantar Mantar on October 26, citing concerns over government pressure to promote Piped Natural Gas (PNG) connections and encourage consumers to surrender LPG connections. Distributors argue that forced shifts to PNG could reduce their customer base, threaten livelihoods, and limit consumer fuel choices. They emphasize that PNG is not opposed as a fuel but caution against excessive promotion that may create dependency on a single fuel system and raise installation costs for consumers.
