PNGRB authorizes entities to develop City or Local Natural Gas Distribution Network as per PNGRB Act, 2006 and the Regulations notified thereunder based on gas availability and techno-commercial viability. The list of PNGRB authorized GAs for development of  CGD Network, which includes metropolitan cities and district headquarters is at Annexure-I. PNGRB has authorized Indraprastha Gas Limited (IGL) for development of CGD Network in National Capital Territory (NCT) of Delhi, which also includes Dwarka and Mahavir Enclave areas of New Delhi. Further, no CGD entity has been authorized till date, for development of CGD network in Vaishali District of Bihar.
