Government Notifies Amendment To LPG Order To Aid PNG Consumers

29 May 2026 CW Team

Under the amended provisions consumers who hold both LPG and PNG connections are given two principal options. They can apply for termination of the LPG connection within thirty days of obtaining the PNG connection. Alternatively they can obtain a transfer voucher that will allow restoration of the LPG connection when they move to a non-PNG area.

The measure provides significant relief and flexibility for transferable employees, migrant households, tenants, students and families that shift to areas where PNG infrastructure is not feasible. It recognises the mobility of modern households and seeks to prevent loss of access to cooking fuel when households change residence. The transfer voucher mechanism is intended to preserve consumers' right to restore LPG service without repeating application hurdles.

The amendment is intended to simplify administrative processes for suppliers and regulators by providing a clear option set for affected consumers. The Government has framed the change to accommodate practical challenges faced by mobile populations while maintaining the regulatory framework for LPG distribution. This step follows an assessment of consumer needs and aims to balance convenience with continuity of supply.

Consumers are advised to consult their LPG distributor or service provider for procedural details and timelines for opting either termination or voucher issuance. The amendment aims to make transitions between PNG and LPG arrangements smoother for households. The amendment is intended to reduce administrative delays.
