India bars LPG cylinders for households served by piped natural gas
LPG distributors must cut deliveries to addresses lacking PNG applications after 3 months
Change
India ordered that LPG supply to households within reach of city piped natural gas will be discontinued three months after a registered-post notice unless the household applies for a domestic piped natural gas (PNG) connection with proof of residence or the city gas distributor issues a no-objection certificate for technical infeasibility.
Why it matters
City gas distributors must serve registered-post communications to households within pipeline proximity and accept domestic piped natural gas (PNG) applications from the lawful occupier or property owner accompanied by proof of residence. City gas distributors may issue a no-objection certificate when it is technically infeasible to provide a PNG connection; addresses granted that certificate are excepted from the PNG-application requirement.
Implications
- — LPG distributors and retail-delivery teams must stop supplying cylinders to addresses that do not file a domestic piped natural gas (PNG) application with proof of residence within three months of a registered-post notice — deliveries after that window will be discontinued.
- — City gas distributors must issue registered-post PNG notices immediately to households within pipeline proximity and process applications from lawful occupiers or owners with proof of residence — the three-month discontinuation window cannot be invoked without that notice.
