Govt announces scheme to incentivise gas companies to expand PNG network

The government has unveiled a dynamic incentive scheme designed to enhance piped gas connections across the nation. By offering distribution companies access to more affordable domestic gas for newly activated connections, the initiative seeks to transform over 50 lakh previously unbilled accounts into operational ones. This strategic move is anticipated to expedite the payback period related to capital investments, encouraging a rapid proliferation of piped cooking gas installations in households.
