Rajasthan's Big Push: LPG-Free Zones Coming Soon
19 Oct
Summary
- Rajasthan aims to connect more households to piped natural gas.
- An incentive of 5,000 points is offered for new PNG connections.
- The state is working towards creating 'LPG-free zones' for convenience.
Rajasthan is actively promoting the adoption of Domestic Piped Natural Gas (DPNG) across the state, aiming to connect a maximum number of households to the PNG network. This initiative is a key component of the Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board (PNGRB)'s "Drive 3" campaign.
Rajasthan State Gas Limited (RSGL), a joint venture involving Gail, has spearheaded efforts in Kota by organizing outreach camps and campaigns. The campaign, running from October 17, 2026, to December 31, 2026, focuses on facilitating the transition from LPG to DPNG connections.
Residents opting for a PNG connection in Kota by December 31, 2026, will receive an incentive of 5,000 points, equivalent to ₹500 worth of PNG. This program is designed to establish "LPG-free zones," emphasizing PNG's safety, economy, and convenience.
RSGL has already made significant progress, connecting approximately 4,500 households and issuing 66 commercial connections in the state over the past three months. The network expansion in Kota will also serve commercial establishments like hotels and hostels.
