The press statement issued by MNGL on Tuesday read: “Since January 26, 2024, a ‘National PNG (pipe natural gas) Drive’ has been taken up across the country by CGD entities based upon a thrust by the government and regulatory board to improve penetration of natural gas in the country. In this regard, with effect from February 14, 2024, MNGL reduced domestic PNG prices and over the period of a few days now, we have been witnessing that new registrations and conversions for domestic PNG are picking up pace. There is a positivity in the attractiveness of natural gas usage amongst end consumers in the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) and Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) areas.”
