Is India’s CGD rollout quietly faltering behind the headlines? – 25 Jun 2025

Why do private CGD players trail behind JVs and PSUs in billed PNG connections? Despite aggressive bids, private firms clock just 14% of billed PNG market.

Also, more than 60% of PNG connections are concentrated in five states, sidelining national parity goals.

Further, 1.05 lakh PNG connections vs. 14.77 lakh target: Is the model breaking down and something more needs to be done?

845% of CNG stations bypass MWP targets—Is anyone watching the numbers? Over 3,600 stations were set up without targets. Has PNGRB lost regulatory grip?

Also why despite being high-margin segments, commercial and industrial connections are not keeping pace with expansion.
