我是 LongbridgeAI,我可以總結文章信息。德里政府已規定,企業必須擁有或申請管道天然氣(PNG)連接才能獲得商業液化石油氣(LPG)供應。該新規自 4 月 2 日起生效,要求商業和工業用户必須在石油營銷公司(OMC)註冊,並在可用的情況下申請 PNG 連接。在缺乏 PNG 基礎設施的地區,企業必須表達轉向 PNG 的意向。OMC 將核實合規性並與印德拉普拉斯塔燃氣有限公司共享記錄。需要同時使用 LPG 和 PNG 的企業可以申請特殊考慮
The Delhi government has tightened norms for the supply of commercial LPG cylinders, making it mandatory for businesses to either have or apply for a piped natural gas (PNG) connection in areas where the network is available, according to an official order.
In an order issued by the Food, Supplies and Consumer Affairs Department on April 2, the government amended a key clause of its recently notified policy on distribution of commercial LPG cylinders.
Under the revised rules, commercial and industrial consumers will be eligible to receive LPG supplies only if they are registered with the concerned oil marketing company (OMC) and have applied for a PNG connection, wherever the network exists.
According to the order, in areas where PNG infrastructure is not yet in place, consumers will be required to submit an application expressing their intent to switch to PNG once it becomes available.
Officials said OMCs will be required to verify documents at least once to ensure compliance with these conditions. Records of consumers who have expressed intent to shift to PNG will also be shared with Indraprastha Gas Limited (IGL) for further action.
" When supplying to commercial gas consumers, the OMCs shall at least once collect documentation records to ensure that the consumer is registered with the OMC and has either applied for a PNG connection or has submitted an application indicating the intent to obtain a PNG connection upon its availability," the order stated.
The order also provides some flexibility. Businesses that need LPG alongside PNG for their operations can apply to the additional commissioner of the department, explaining their needs. A decision on such requests will be taken in consultation with the three OMCs.
"The OMCs could also collect such applications and submit to the Additional Commissioner for a prompt decision. The Additional Commissioner shall promptly dispose of the same in consultation with the three Oil Marketing Companies," the order stated.
The rest of the policy, notified on March 26 along with a subsequent addendum, will remain unchanged, the order said.
