Surrender LPG from Home: New Portal Simplifies Switch to Piped Gas

• MoPNG launches MyPNG-D Portal for easy LPG connection surrender for those who have switched to piped natural gas (PNG).
• Petroleum Secretary Neeraj Mittal announced nearly 1,797 surrenders within a day of the portal's launch.
• The portal allows consumers to surrender LPG from home using their registered mobile or LPG ID, eliminating dealership visits.
• Centre mandates PNG supply, discontinuing LPG after three months for non-responsive households where PNG is available.
• New norms streamline PNG pipeline installation, with faster approvals for right-of-way and household connections.
