The start of the new year 2026 brings good news for domestic gas consumers. Indraprastha Gas Limited (IGL) has announced a reduction in the prices of domestic PNG (Piped Natural Gas) in Delhi and the National Capital Region (NCR). The company has reduced the price by 70 paise per standard cubic meter (SCM), which is expected to have a positive impact on the monthly budgets of millions of households. This decision is considered a relief for consumers amidst rising inflation.

New PNG Rates Applicable in Delhi-NCR
According to information released by IGL, after the price reduction, the new rate for domestic PNG in Delhi is Rs. 47.89 per SCM. In Gurugram, consumers will get gas at a rate of Rs. 46.70 per SCM. The revised price in Noida, Greater Noida, and Ghaziabad has been fixed at Rs. 47.76 per SCM. These new rates will be effective from the new year and will directly benefit domestic consumers.

IGL's Initiative to Promote Clean Energy
IGL has clarified that this decision is part of its commitment to providing clean and affordable energy to the common people. The company is constantly striving to make natural gas a better alternative to LPG and other traditional fuels. PNG is not only more environmentally friendly but also reduces household expenses in the long run. The price reduction will also encourage new consumers to opt for PNG connections.

Impact on Household Budgets and Consumers
The reduction in PNG prices will provide direct relief to the monthly expenses of middle-class families. For households that use PNG for daily cooking, this saving can amount to a significant sum over the year. Energy experts believe that if these prices remain stable, both PNG consumption and the network can expand rapidly in the coming years. This New Year's relief further strengthens IGL's image as a consumer-friendly company.
