Piped Natural Gas (PNG)

About PNG

Piped Natural Gas (PNG) contains mostly methane (CH4) with a very small percentage of other hydrocarbons. It burns almost completely, making it the cleanest and eco-friendly fuel for households, industries, and commercial units.

PNG is supplied through pipelines, so there is no need to book, handle, store, or transport cylinders. Being lighter than air, it is also safer for cooking.

Domestic PNG

Supplied to kitchens via a regulated pipeline network, Domestic PNG is convenient, safe, and eco-friendly for apartments, colonies, and houses. It can also be used for water heating, space heating, air conditioning, refrigeration, and power generation.

Commercial PNG

Used widely in hotels, restaurants, hospitals, bakeries, dairies, malls, shopping complexes, and educational institutions, PNG is economical and eliminates cylinder handling and refilling hassles.

Industrial PNG

Natural gas is an efficient fuel replacement in industries like tea manufacturing, ceramics, chemicals, glass, engineering goods, and power generation.
