Abstract


Natural gas has been gaining popularity as a fuel for the next century across the globe. The Indian government has been pushing to boost the natural gas share in the energy mix to 15% by 2030. City Gas Distribution (CGD) plays a crucial role in meeting the set target as the Indian government has given it a tag of priority sector. The Indian Government has been aggressively expanding the CGD footprints across India by conducting the bidding rounds for new Geographic Areas (GAs). This paper provides a comprehensive review of city gas distribution and delivers insights on developing a sustainable natural gas business in India.
