Bengaluru Hotels and Industries to Receive Uninterrupted PNG Supply
There is no shortage of gas supply for Piped Natural Gas (PNG) in Bengaluru and hotels and industries connected to the PNG network will continue to receive uninterrupted supply without any disruption to their operations. The GAIL Gas Limited official says while addressing representatives from various industries at an interactive session on ‘Natural Gas Supply Outlook and Industry Preparedness’ organized by the Bangalore Chamber of Industry & Commerce (BCIC).
Piped Natural Gas supply in Bengaluru remains stable and fully under control. Industries, hotels and commercial establishments that are connected to the PNG network need not be concerned, as there is no disruption in supply and business operations will continue uninterrupted. Those eateries and hotels which are on commercial LPG and are concerned about supply can switch over to PNG line subject to the availability within a matter of just two months.
Addressing the rumours on the shortage of LPG in Bengaluru GAIL official assured that the government has increased domestic LPG production and hence domestic LPG users can take a sigh of relief.
“We at GAIL are steadily expanding our pipeline network and ready to provide fresh pipeline gas connections across the city of Bengaluru so that more consumers can shift to PNG, which is not only efficient but also a cleaner and more sustainable energy solution. India is not entirely dependent on a single international source, as natural gas imports are sourced from multiple regions,” according to GAIL official.

GAIL official referred to a Government of India gazette notification aimed at better management of natural gas supply. As per the notification, industrial and commercial users will receive up to 80percent of their average gas consumption over the past six months, while domestic and CNG segments will continue to receive 100percent supply. The measure is intended to rationalise usage and ensure equitable distribution of gas during the current global supply uncertainties. He clarified that industries can still consume beyond the 80percent threshold, but such additional usage will be billed at a different price band.
