New Delhi: The government has announced an incentive scheme aimed at accelerating the rollout of piped natural gas (PNG) connections to households, seeking to expand access to cleaner and more affordable cooking fuel across India.
Under the APM/NAPM Incentive Scheme for Promotion of Domestic PNG Connections, eligible city gas distribution companies will receive an additional allocation of 200 standard cubic metres (SCM) of domestically produced, lower-priced APM gas for every incremental billed domestic PNG connection above a threshold set for each geographical area.
