In response to global energy supply disruptions, the Maharashtra government has instructed city gas distribution companies to enhance services for piped natural gas (PNG). A recent Government Resolution asks firms to run 24-hour helplines and to scale up infrastructure.
This strategic move comes amidst concerns over LPG supply constraints triggered by difficulties in the international petroleum market. Companies are tasked with increasing outreach and setting up more centers to make PNG widely available, both through online and offline channels.
The resolution mandates support from municipal bodies and regular district-level progress reviews to ensure swift and expansive access to PNG connections, crucial until the geopolitical tensions ease.
