New Delhi, March 27: Consumers who have shifted to piped natural gas (PNG) can now surrender their LPG connections from the comfort of their homes, without visiting a dealership, Secretary Neeraj Mittal said on Friday.
The Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas (MoPNG) has introduced the MyPNG-D Portal, a new digital platform designed to streamline the process of voluntarily giving up LPG connections.
Announcing the initiative on social media platform X, Mittal said PNG users can complete the surrender process online using either their registered mobile number or LPG ID, eliminating the need for in-person visits.
“PNG consumers can now surrender LPG from home. You don’t need to visit the dealership—just use your registered mobile number or LPG ID,” he said.
The move aims to simplify procedures and encourage more households that have transitioned to PNG to relinquish their LPG connections, enabling redistribution to families that still lack access to cleaner fuel.
According to Mittal, 1,797 consumers surrendered their LPG connections within a day of the portal’s launch. He thanked them for their participation and urged others to follow suit.
“1,797 responsible citizens have surrendered theirs since yesterday. A big thanks to them. You too can surrender your LPG connection and help those who don’t yet have access to PNG,” he said.
The government expects the initiative to enhance access to clean cooking fuel while improving the equitable distribution of LPG connections, particularly among households still dependent on traditional energy sources.
