PNGRB's Tariff Reset Aims to Lower CNG and PNG Prices

The Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board (PNGRB) is changing how much it costs to transport natural gas across India.

Starting from January 2026, there will be two zones for pricing: one for distances up to 300 km and another for distances beyond 300 km.

Everyone using CNG (for vehicles) and PNG (for homes) will pay the same lower rate, no matter where they are.

This change is expected to make CNG and PNG cheaper for consumers.

The goal is to make natural gas more popular and to help India use more natural gas in the future.

Right now, natural gas makes up only 6% of India's energy use, but the government wants to increase that to 15% by 2030.
