New Delhi: The Government of India has notified the Liquefied Petroleum Gas (Regulation of Supply and Distribution) Amendment Order, 2026, on 25th May, 2026.The amendment aims to provide additional relaxation and convenience to domestic LPG consumers who subsequently obtain Piped Natural Gas (PNG) connections.
-
Under the amended provisions, LPG consumers who have PNG connections as well shall have the following options:
-
Consumers may apply for termination of the LPG connection within 30 (thirty) days of obtaining PNG connection; or
-
Consumers may obtain a transfer voucher for future restoration of LPG connection in a non-PNG area.

This amendment provides significant relief and flexibility to consumers who may subsequently shift to areas where PNG infrastructure may not be feasible.
