BPCL New Advisory: BharatGas
Right after domestic LPG prices were hiked, BPCL via its X handler said, "Global energy markets faced volatility. Supply chains came under pressure. Yet millions of Indian households continued to receive LPG at affordable prices."
"As international LPG benchmarks rose sharply and key supply routes faced disruption, India's LPG ecosystem demonstrated remarkable resilience. Through coordinated efforts across the value chain, LPG supplies remained uninterrupted, consumer support continued, and cooking gas prices remained among the lowest globally," it added.
HPCL New Advisory: HP Gas
HPCL via its X handler, said, "Today, the price of domestic LPG in India is among the most affordable levels in the world. For Ujjwala beneficiaries, the effective price is ₹642 per cylinder, which is significantly lower compared to neighboring countries and many developed economies. This ensures that clean energy, safe cooking, and a better quality of life reach every household."
Indian Oil New Advisory: Indane Gas
Furthermore, Indian Oil said, "Despite a sharp rise in global LPG benchmarks and the disruption around the Strait of Hormuz, India kept energy cargoes moving and ensured uninterrupted availability of petroleum products."
LPG-PNG Connections Rules:
Last month, the government revised its Liquefied Petroleum Gas (Regulation of Supply and Distribution) Amendment Order, 2026. The amendment aims to provide additional relaxation and convenience to domestic LPG consumers who subsequently obtain Piped Natural Gas (PNG) connections.
Under the new rule, the moment you obtain PNG connections, you will have 30 days' time to terminate your LPG connections.
Since customers are asked to terminate their LPG connection within 30 days of getting PNG, the government has announced a provision that allows these customers to restore their LPG connection.

Why Switch To LPG From PNG?
Here are some of the benefits of PNGs highlighted by Indraprastha Gas, one of the largest distributors of PNG in India.
1. The domestic consumers have to take upon themselves the trying task of booking an LPG cylinder refill, time and again. Then starts the wait for the deliveryman to deliver the cylinder. Switching over to PNG renders this entire exercise unnecessary. PNG also eliminates the tedious routine of checking LPG refill cylinder for any suspected leakage or it being underweight, at the time of delivery.
2. The combustible mixture of natural gas and air does not ignite if the mixture is leaner than 5% and richer than 15% of the air-fuel ratio required for ignition. This narrow inflammability range makes PNG one of the safest fuels in the world. Natural gas is lighter than air. Therefore, in case of a leakage, it just rises and disperses into thin air given adequate ventilation. But LPG being heavier will settle at the bottom near the floor surface.
3. The user is charged for the quantity of PNG used with no possibility of any pilferage as the billing is done according to the meter. A unique feature is that the user gets to pay only after consumption of gas. The domestic consumer pays the PNG bill only once in every two months.
4. Natural gas is being used predominantly as a versatile fuel in many major cities catering to domestic and commercial applications, as a cooking fuel, for water heating, space heating, air conditioning, etc.
5. Natural gas is one of the cleanest-burning fossil fuels, and helps improve the quality of air, especially when used in place of other more polluting energy sources. Its combustion results in virtually no atmospheric emissions of sulphurdioxide (SO2), and far lower emissions of carbon monoxide (CO), reactive hydrocarbons and carbon dioxide, than combustion of other fossil fuels.
6. In case of fuels like HSD and LDO, there are considerable chances of spillage and pilferage. In case of PNG these losses are invariably done away with, for PNG is supplied through pipes.
7. With PNG, soot or ash accumulation and greasy spillages are absent from your appliance. Maintenance costs are, thus, driven down.
