Your cooking gas bill could get cheaper — and the government is now offering money to make it happen.
A new incentive scheme helps households switch from LPG cylinders to piped natural gas (PNG), which connects directly to your kitchen like a water tap.
PNG typically costs less per unit than LPG, and households often save ₹150–300 a month — plus no more waiting for cylinder deliveries.

What this means for you

• If you're in a city with PNG infrastructure — Delhi, Mumbai, Pune, Ahmedabad, Hyderabad — this scheme is likely available to you now.
• PNG never runs out mid-cooking and removes the ₹900+ cylinder booking cycle from your monthly to-do list.
• The one-time connection cost (usually ₹5,000–8,000) may now be partly or fully covered by this incentive — worth checking with your city gas distributor.

What you can do

• Look up your city's gas distributor (IGL, MGL, Gujarat Gas) and ask about the new incentive — connection timelines are usually 2–4 weeks.
• Quick check: if your household uses 1.5–2 cylinders a month, PNG will almost certainly cost less within 6 months.

Not everyone has PNG access yet — but if you do, this is a rare moment where the government is literally paying you to cut a monthly expense.
