New Delhi:
Amid a shortage of LPG (liquified petroleum gas) cylinders in the country due to the near-shutting of the Strait of Hormuz because of the ongoing war between the US, Israel, and Iran, the government on Monday said that gas distribution companies have rolled out incentives to encourage new PNG (piped natural gas) connections. During a press briefing in the national capital, Sujata Sharma, Joint Secretary (Marketing & Oil Refinery) at the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, said that customers can apply for a new PNG connection through email, customer portal, letter or call centre of the respective City Gas Distribution (CGD) companies.
