Summary
Piped natural gas, delivered through underground pipelines, is safer and usually cheaper than traditional LPG cylinders.
City gas distribution companies will receive an additional 200 standard cubic meters of domestically produced gas for each new billed connection they achieve, encouraging rapid expansion.
The scheme includes faster approval processes, reduced value added tax on natural gas to five percent, and a digital portal to simplify applications.
By lowering costs and speeding up connections, the government expects the payback period for the infrastructure to drop from around ten years to about three years.
