Domestic PNG becomes cheaper in Delhi, NCR from Jan 1 | India News – The Times of India

NEW DELHI: The domestic piped natural gas (PNG) in Delhi and its surrounding NCR areas became cheaper by 70 paise per unit from Jan 1, with Indraprastha Gas Limited (IGL) announcing the cut in prices.According to IGL, the piped cooking gas now costs Rs 47.89 per standard cubic metre (SCM) in Delhi, Rs 46.70 in Gurugram, and Rs 47.76 per SCM in Noida, Greater Noida, and Ghaziabad. Officials said nearly 25 lakh households were likely to benefit from the price cut.“IGL has announced a substantial reduction in its domestic PNG prices this coming New Year for its consumers in Delhi and NCR by ₹0.70 per SCM…. IGL reinforces its commitment to making clean energy both accessible and affordable as we step into 2026,” the company said in a post on X.Sources said the reduction was effected after the Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board overhauled the pipeline tariffs recently. The PNGRB on Dec 16 announced a rationalised tariff structure for pipelines that move natural gas — the feedstock for generating electricity, producing fertiliser, making CNG, and used as fuel in household kitchens.The revised tariffs, which are effective January 1, make natural gas transportation simpler, fairer, and more cost-effective for consumers and the city gas distribution sector.
