PNG applications to get clearance in 10 days to accelerate rollout

The Petroleum and Explosives Safety Organisation instructed its offices to dispose of City Gas Distribution (CGD) applications within 10 days, aiming to accelerate the rollout of piped natural gas (PNG). The move comes amid concerns surrounding supply disruption and shortages of LPG. Commercial LPG consumers in major cities and urban areas have also been advised to shift to PNG.
