Good news for people in Delhi and the National capital Region (NCR) — if you’re planning to install a new domestic PNG (Piped Natural Gas) connection, there’s a special discount scheme available that can reduce your first gas bill. This has been introduced by Indraprastha Gas Limited (IGL) to encourage adoption of cleaner, piped fuel amid ongoing LPG supply challenges in the region.
💸 What Discount Is Being Offered?
✔️ ₹500 discount on your first PNG bill when you take a new PNG connection.
✔️ This offer applies to domestic customers in delhi and NCR.
✔️ It’s intended to promote PNG as an alternative fuel during the LPG cylinder shortage situation.
🔹 That means if your first billing cycle after installation shows a gas charge, ₹500 will be reduced from that bill directly as a benefit.
📅 Who Can Avail This Discount?
This offer is typically aimed at:
- New PNG connection applicants — first‑time users.
- Residents in Delhi and NCR where IGL supplies PNG.
- Both domestic and commercial connections may qualify (confirm with the provider).
🧾 How to Apply for a New PNG Connection & Get the Discount
1. Check PNG Availability in Your Area
PNG is supplied by IGL across most parts of delhi, Gurgaon, noida, Greater noida and Ghaziabad. Make sure your locality is covered before applying.
2. Visit the IGL Website / customer Portal
Go to the official IGL site or use their customer support channels to start your application.
3. Submit Required Documents
Typical documents include:
- Proof of address
- Aadhaar card
- Proof of ownership/tenancy
- Contact details
Note: The exact requirements vary by locality, so the online portal or customer care will list what you need.
4. Book Your Connection
Follow the instructions to request a new domestic PNG connection.
5. Confirm Discount Eligibility
Before confirming installation, ask the IGL support team how the ₹500 discount will be applied — usually it’s credited against your first bill once the connection becomes active.
6. Installation & Activation
Once approved, technical personnel will install the pipeline and gas meter at your home. After activation, you will start receiving PNG bills.
🏡 Why Consider a PNG Connection?
📍 Cleaner & Convenient
PNG eliminates the need to handle gas cylinders and is a continuous supply directly in your kitchen.
📍 Cost Saving Potential
Domestic PNG bills can be cheaper over time than repeated LPG cylinder refills — especially with discounts and reduced rates. In Delhi‑NCR, PNG prices were also reduced recently by around ₹0.70 per SCM, benefiting users further.
📍 No More Cylinder Queues
With the ongoing LPG supply crunch, PNG users find more reliable continuity of gas supply.
📌 Important Tips Before You Apply
✅ Always read the latest IGL customer guidelines online so you understand all fees and installation charges.
✅ Ask customer care specifically about the ₹500 discount and how it will reflect in your first bill.
✅ Be aware that, under some recent rules, households with an active PNG connection might not be allowed to hold LPG cylinders simultaneously — check current policies.
