## MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF PETROLEUM AND NATURAL GAS (SHRI SURESH GOPI)

(a) to (d): No, No such proposal to supply LPG through pipeline is currently under consideration.

Piped Natural Gas (PNG) is supplied to households by respective entities authorised by Petroleum and Natural Gas  Regulatory  Board  (PNGRB).  Providing  PNG  connections  is  a  part  of  the  development  of  City  Gas Distribution  (CGD)  network  and  the  same  is  carried  out  by  the  entities  authorised  by  PNGRB  as  per  their Minimum Work Programme (MWP). PNGRB has authorized entities for the development of CGD network in 307  Geographical  Areas  (GAs),  including  villages  and  towns  in  the  states  of  Uttarakhand  and  Rajasthan, covering almost 100% of the mainland area for the development of CGD network across the country.  The details of the PNG connections in the State of Uttarakhand and Rajasthan is given at Annexure.
