The government has introduced a new digital initiative to simplify LPG connection surrender, making it easier for PNG users to complete the process from home.
Petroleum and Natural Gas Secretary Neeraj Mittal announced on Friday that customers who have switched to piped natural gas (PNG) can now give up their LPG connection from home without going to a dealership by using simply their registered mobile number or LPG ID.
MyPNG-D Portal Launched for Easy LPG Surrender
MyPNG-D Portal is a new digital platform that the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas (MoPNG) has introduced to facilitate PNG users’ online LPG connection termination.
According to Mittal’s update on X, customers who have already made the move to PNG are no longer required to go to LPG dealerships in order to give up their connections.
🔥 MyPNG-D Portal Features
- Service: LPG surrender online
- Access: Mobile number or LPG ID
- Process: Fully digital
- Benefit: No dealership visit
- Target: PNG users
Easy Process for Consumers
Now, you can use an LPG ID or a registered mobile number to finish the process from home. Customers in PNG are able to turn in LPG at home. You do not have to go to the dealership. All you need is your LPGID or a registered mobile device,” Mittal stated.
The goal of the action is to streamline the procedure and incentivize more customers to voluntarily disconnect their LPG connections so that households without access to PNG can utilize them.
Early Response from Users
Within a day of the portal’s introduction, 1,797 customers have already turned in their LPG connections, according to the Secretary. He expressed gratitude to these users for their involvement and encouraged others to join the effort.
Since yesterday, 1797 law-abiding individuals have turned in theirs! “Many thanks to them,” he said. He continued, “You too give up your LPG connection and assist people who lack access to PNG.”
