The first phase of piped natural gas (PNG) distribution will start next week in Dumraon subdivision of Buxar district, covering 498 households, with a target of reaching about 1,000 homes within the next two to three months.
Bihar's Buxar district is set to launch piped natural gas (PNG) service for the first time next week. In the initial rollout, meters installed at 498 households in the Dumraon subdivision will be activated, providing them with a direct gas supply. The move is part of a government initiative aimed at expanding clean energy access in rural areas.
Officials have outlined a short‑term goal of extending PNG connections to roughly 1,000 homes within the next two to three months. The phased approach will allow utility teams to monitor performance, address any technical issues, and ensure safety standards are met before scaling up.
The introduction of PNG is expected to reduce reliance on traditional cooking fuels such as LPG cylinders and firewood, potentially lowering household energy costs and contributing to better indoor air quality. Local residents expressed optimism about the convenience and health benefits the new service promises.
