The new policy by India — Delhi government is expected to shift commercial and industrial consumers from Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) to Natural gas (PNG), potentially impacting the demand for Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and increasing the customer base for Indraprastha Gas (IGL). This could lead to a decline in sales for Oil marketing companies (OMCs) that primarily deal with Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) in the region, while boosting the growth prospects for Natural gas (PNG) providers.

Oil and gas Utilities

The India — Delhi government has introduced new regulations making it mandatory for commercial and industrial businesses to either have or apply for a Natural gas (PNG) connection to receive Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) supplies in areas with existing Natural gas (PNG) infrastructure. In areas without Natural gas (PNG) infrastructure, consumers must submit an application expressing their intent to switch once it becomes available. Oil marketing companies (OMCs) are tasked with verifying compliance and sharing consumer records with Indraprastha Gas (IGL). The policy also allows for flexibility, enabling businesses requiring both Liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) and Natural gas (PNG) to apply for special consideration.
