The Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas (MoPNG) on Friday launched the MyPNG-D Portal, allowing LPG consumers to surrender their connection from the comfort of their homes and shift to PNG.

Petroleum Secretary Neeraj Mittal detailed the portal on the social media platform X, stating that 1,797 people had used it by Thursday to surrender their LPG connections.

The move is intended to ease the process for LPG consumers to shift to PNG connections where available.

Under the Natural Gas and Petroleum Products Distribution Order, 2026 -issued by the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas on March 24-household LPG supply will be discontinued after three months if consumers do not switch to PNG, where it is available.

However, the order offers an exemption where PNG connections are "technically infeasible," permitting continued LPG supply upon submission of a no-objection certificate (NOC) from the authorised entity.

The policy seeks to divert LPG availability from urban areas with pipeline access to regions without such infrastructure, while also encouraging fuel diversification amid global supply disruptions, including constraints at Gulf liquefaction facilities and along the Strait of Hormuz.
