Ministry of Petroleum ne 'National PNG Drive 3.0' ka ailaan kiya hai, jiska goal March 2027 tak **50 lakh** naye PNG connections dena hai. Investors ke liye ye volume badhane ka ek bada mauka ho sakta hai.
Mission 50 Lakh connections!
Sarkar ne PNG consumption ko badhane ke liye zor-shor se kaam shuru kar diya hai. 'National PNG Drive 3.0' ka aim March 2027 tak 50 lakh naye connections dena aur 40 lakh band pade connections ko fir se activate karna hai. Ye move City Gas Distribution (CGD) companies ke liye ek solid volume driver ban sakta hai, kyunki ab pipeline network ka better utilization hoga.
Mil rahe hain tagde incentives
Companies ko motivate karne ke liye, September 1, 2026 se ek naya incentive scheme aaya hai. Har naye PNG connection par, CGD companies ko 200 Standard Cubic Meters (SCM) ka sasta APM gas extra milega. Kyunki APM gas imported LNG ke muqable kaafi sasti hoti hai, isse companies ke Profit Margins protect rahenge.
Sath hi, 'MyPNG Portal' bhi launch hua hai, jisse consumer onboarding fast hogi.
Investors ke liye Risks kya hain?
Sab kuch perfect nahi hai, bhai! CGD business abhi bhi gas price volatility ke liye sensitive hai. Agar imported LNG ke daam badhe, toh margins par pressure aa sakta hai. Saath hi, West Asia mein geopolitical tension se supply chain mein dikkat aa sakti hai. Yaad rakhein, infrastructure banane mein kafi paisa lagta hai aur capital recover hone mein 6 se 7 saal ka time lag jata hai. Semi-urban area mein expansion bhi kaafi slow aur mehanga ho sakta hai.
