CNG stations have been set up across the country.  State/UT-wise details of Geographical Areas (GAs) where CNG stations are situated are at Annexure.

The number of CNG stations established by various authorised entities has increased from 938 in 2014 to 4531 in May, 2022.  This includes 166 CNG stations covering 41 GAs across 14 states inaugurated on 15 th July, 2022.  Also, the number of PNG connections provided has increased from 25.4 lakhs to 95.21 lakhs in the same period.  After latest round of bidding, 98% of the population and 88% of the geographical area of the country has been covered.

Government of India has set a target of increasing the share of Natural Gas in the primary energy mix  from  6.3%  to  15%  by  2030.    Government  is  promoting  alternative  fuels  such  as  CNG, Biofuels, LNG, Electric charging stations, etc. to reduce dependence on fossil fuels.  In terms of Government's resolution dated 8.11.2019, the authorized entities and public sector Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) are required to install facilities for marketing at least one new generation alternate fuel at their proposed retail outlets within three years of operationalization of the said outlets.

Various other steps taken by the Government in this direction include expansion of National Gas Grid  pipelines,  expansion  of  City  Gas  Distribution  (CGD)  network,  setting  up  of  Liquefied Natural Gas  (LNG)  Terminals,  allocation of domestic gas  to  Compressed  Natural  Gas (Transport)/Piped Natural Gas (Domestic) [CNG(T)/PNG(D)] in no cut category.

To  implement  'One  Nation  One  Gas  Grid'  Petroleum  and  Natural  Gas  Regulatory  Board (PNGRB) has authorised development of 33,500 km of Natural Gas Pipeline network across the country.  Out of this, 21715 km Natural Gas Pipelines are operational now (out of which over 7000 km has been laid since 2014) and a total of 13,605 km length of pipelines is under various stages of construction.

Government  is  also  promoting  setting  up  of  LNG  stations  on  National  Highways,  golden quadrilaterals, etc. for promotion of LNG in long distance transportation.
