The City Gas Distribution (CGD) projects in India are reshaping the nation’s energy infrastructure by promoting cleaner, safer, and more efficient fuel options. According to Indian Petroplus, the CGD sector is witnessing an unprecedented expansion, driven by the government’s push to increase the share of natural gas in India’s primary energy mix to 15% by 2030.

CGD networks play a vital role in providing Piped Natural Gas (PNG) to households, industries, and commercial establishments, along with Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) for vehicles. India’s expanding urban population and rising demand for eco-friendly fuels have accelerated the rollout of new CGD projects across multiple states. Major players such as Adani Total Gas, GAIL Gas, Gujarat Gas, and Torrent Gas are leading investments in new geographical areas awarded under the Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board (PNGRB) bidding rounds.

Indian Petroplus notes that over 300 geographical areas (GAs) have been authorized, covering more than 95% of India’s population and 90% of its geographic area. This massive coverage is expected to reduce dependence on liquid fuels and cut emissions, aligning with India’s clean energy targets. Additionally, new policies on gas pricing, infrastructure sharing, and open access are helping to create a competitive environment for CGD operators.The future of CGD projects in India looks promising, with digital monitoring systems, advanced metering, and smart distribution technology improving efficiency and safety. With strong policy support, private participation, and rising consumer adoption, India’s CGD sector is set to become one of the largest urban gas networks globally, CNG India, Clean Fuel India, Gas Based Economy, Energy Transition India, Urban Energy, Green Mobility India.

India’s refining industry is witnessing a surge in SRU VDU projects (Sulfur Recovery Unit and Vacuum Distillation Unit) as companies strive to meet stringent environmental norms and optimize hydrocarbon processing. These projects are critical for enhancing refinery yield, reducing sulfur emissions, and ensuring compliance with global standards.

SRU VDU projects involve the integration of sulfur recovery technologies with vacuum distillation processes to maximize the conversion of crude fractions into high-value products while capturing sulfur efficiently. Leading refiners in India are investing in modernizing their units to boost operational efficiency and achieve lower sulfur content in fuels, in line with the government’s cleaner fuel mandates.

One of the key trends in Indian SRU VDU projects is the adoption of advanced catalyst technologies and process automation, which improve recovery rates and reduce operational costs. The focus is not just on capacity expansion but also on maintaining sustainability and environmental compliance, making these projects crucial for long-term refinery competitiveness.

For stakeholders seeking timely insights and data on these developments, Indian Petroplus provides a comprehensive platform tracking all major SRU VDU projects across India. From EPC tender announcements to operational milestones, Indian Petroplus ensures professionals and investors remain informed of opportunities and industry shifts.

India’s gas sector is rapidly evolving, driven by new Indian LNG, RLNG, and LPG onshore, offshore, and onland policies and projects that aim to expand clean energy access, infrastructure, and market depth. With the government targeting a gas-based economy and raising the natural gas share to 15% in the primary energy mix by 2030, policy alignment and infrastructure growth have become critical.

According to Indian Petroplus, India’s LNG and RLNG terminals—spanning Dahej, Hazira, Dhamra, Ennore, and Mundra—are undergoing expansion, while new floating storage regasification units (FSRUs) at Kochi, Jaigarh, and Kakinada are enhancing offshore import flexibility. These projects strengthen supply reliability and diversify sourcing amid global LNG market volatility.

On the onshore and onland front, India is witnessing the rollout of large-scale LPG import, storage, and bottling terminals, particularly along the west and east coasts. The focus is on improving last-mile connectivity through pipelines such as the Jagdishpur–Haldia–Bokaro–Dhamra (JHBDPL) and Kochi–Mangalore–Bengaluru (KMBPL) networks, ensuring efficient transport of LNG and RLNG across industrial and residential sectors.

Regulatory support through the Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board (PNGRB) and policies promoting open access, unified tariffs, and marketing freedom are spurring private participation in LNG and LPG infrastructure. Offshore exploration tie-ins and coastal LNG bunkering initiatives are also adding to downstream integration.

As per Indian Petroplus, the synergy between LNG terminals, RLNG networks, and LPG distribution systems marks a defining shift in India’s gas ecosystem—one that connects offshore supply to onland consumers seamlessly.
