India Infrastructure Research has released the 2019 edition of ‘City Gas Distribution Market in India’ research report, the most comprehensive and up-to-date study on this sector.

The current level of activity in the CGD sector provides significant opportunity for all stakeholders. CNG and PNG networks continue to grow and fresh licences are being issued at a much faster pace. The recently concluded ninth and tenth bidding rounds have received overwhelming response from both domestic and global players and entail investments worth Rs 1.2 trillion. Going forward, it is important that this growth momentum is maintained through timely execution of projects and sufficient gas availability to the sector. In addition, challenges such as high execution risks associated with huge capital expenditure, the slow pace of pipeline buildup, low sales and customer penetration, and the high cost of providing last mile connectivity need to be addressed in a time-bound manner.
