IGL Assures Uninterrupted Gas Supply Amid Global Energy Market Volatility

Indraprastha Gas Limited has assured consumers of an uninterrupted supply of Piped Natural Gas and Compressed Natural Gas, despite global energy market disruptions. The assurance follows a government order classifying domestic PNG and CNG as the top priority sector for natural gas supply. Global volatility is being driven by the escalating Middle East conflict, which is disrupting crude oil and natural gas supplies and maritime trade routes. A key concern is the virtual closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical chokepoint for roughly 20% of global LNG trade.

Indraprastha Gas assures uninterrupted PNG, CNG supply amid global energy disruptions

Indraprastha Gas Limited assures continuous PNG for cooking and CNG for vehicles, prioritizing supply despite Middle East conflict disrupting global energy markets.

"Accordingly we would like to assure the uninterrupted supply of Domestic PNG for household cooking and CNG for fueling - Indraprastha Gas Limited"

New Delhi, March 12

Indraprastha Gas Limited has assured consumers of uninterrupted supply of Piped Natural Gas for household cooking and Compressed Natural Gas for vehicles amid global energy market disruptions caused by the escalating conflict in the Middle East.

The assurance comes following the Natural Gas (Supply Regulation) Order, 2026, dated March 9, 2026, under which the supply of natural gas to Domestic PNG and CNG has been classified as the topmost priority sector.

In a statement, the company said that it remains committed to ensuring uninterrupted supply of natural gas forhouseholds and transport services in line with the government mandate.

"Accordingly we would like to assure the uninterrupted supply of Domestic PNG for household cooking and CNG for fueling for public transport and private vehicles to maintain urban mobility as per the government mandate and availability of natural gas supply," the company said.

IGL further stated that it remains focused on maintaining high standards of service and ensuring that customer needs remain at the centre of its operations.

"IGL remains persistent in its commitment to excellence, ensuring that customer service is at the heart of every endeavour we undertake," the company added.

The assurance from the gas distributor comes at a time when global energy markets are witnessing heightened volatility due to disruptions in crude oil and natural gas supplies.

According to industry developments, crude oil supply is facing significant disruptions primarily due to the escalating military conflict in the Middle East. The disruptions have pushed benchmark prices such as Brent crude to around USD 100 per barrel.

Natural gas and Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) supplies are also facing challenges due to disruptions in maritime trade routes.

One of the key factors contributing to the supply concerns is the virtual closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial global shipping route for energy supplies.

The Strait of Hormuz is a critical maritime chokepoint that handles roughly 20 per cent of global Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) trade. Any disruption in this route can have a significant impact on the movement of natural gas and related energy commodities across international markets.

Living in Delhi, clean fuel for transport and cooking is not a luxury, it's a necessity for public health. Glad to see IGL is prioritizing this despite global chaos. Hope they can keep their promise on pricing too.

Assurance is good, but action is better. The Strait of Hormuz situation is serious. What is Plan B if supplies are hit? We need transparency on reserves and contingency plans, not just press statements.

As a homemaker, the thought of PNG supply getting disrupted is worrying. Cooking for a family of six on anything else would be a nightmare and so expensive. Thank you for this update, it gives some peace of mind.

This highlights why energy independence is so crucial for India. We cannot be at the mercy of global conflicts for our daily fuel. Hope this accelerates investment in domestic gas fields and renewables.

Good step by the govt to prioritize domestic supply. But IGL, please also ensure the service quality doesn't drop. Last month there was a leak complaint in our society and it took 3 days for a technician to come.
