Haryana to launch new gas distribution policy to boost infrastructure investment

“The upcoming CGD policy is expected to open new doors for both public and private investment in natural gas pipelines and distribution networks. The policy focuses on creating an enabling environment for establishing pipeline infrastructure, while ensuring fair competition and safeguarding consumer interests relating to access and safety. The expansion of the CGD network will help Haryana reduce its dependence on crude oil by encouraging the use of cleaner energy alternatives in industries and households,” Rastogi said.

“Under the Draft CGD Policy 2025, companies authorised by the PNGRB will be able to seek Right of Use (RoU) and Right of Way (RoW) permissions through the state’s single-window portal – http://www.investharyana.in. Applicants will have to submit a Common Application Form along with GIS-based route maps, work plans, land details, and specifications of the technology to be used – such as HDD, trenchless boring, or open trenching. A transparent fee structure has been introduced. The draft policy simplifies financial procedures with clearly defined charges,” Rastogi added.

Dr Amit K Agrawal, Commissioner and Secretary, Industries and Commerce Department, highlighted that “the policy builds on the earlier CGD Policy formulated… in 2010, updating it to meet current technological and administrative requirements. The Industries and Commerce Department will serve as the nodal agency for implementing the new policy and coordinating with all stakeholder departments.”

Rastogi directed the Industries Department to consider the suggestions of the PNGRB and make the necessary alignments in the policy, adding that “the new CGD policy will strengthen Haryana’s energy security, enhance ease of doing business, and position the state as a leader in clean and sustainable energy infrastructure.”
