Gas to reach every home starting September; government plans to eliminate booking hassle

PNG Drive 3.0: The government is preparing to launch 'PNG Drive 3.0' in September 2026, aiming to provide PNG connections to more households in areas where the PNG network already exists.

New PNG Gas Connection: While most households in the country use LPG cylinders, the facility of PNG (Piped Natural Gas) has now reached many cities. In areas where PNG connections are available, residents no longer need to book cylinders every month, as gas is supplied directly to their homes via pipelines. Consequently, the government is promoting the use of PNG across the country and is preparing a new nationwide campaign to boost its adoption.

What is the government's plan?

The government is launching a campaign to expand the PNG gas network in households, aiming to ensure that residents in areas where the network already exists can derive maximum benefit from it.
