India City Gas Distribution Market, by Type (CNG Vs PNG), By Source of Supply (Domestically Supplied, LNG & International Pipeline), By End Use (Automotive, Residential, Commercial & Industrial), Competition Forecast & Opportunities, 2015 - 2030

The City Gas Distribution (CGD) market in India is forecast to witness a CAGR of 10% to grow from an estimated 9,223 MMSCM (Million Metric Standard Cubic Meter) in 2020 to 25,570 MMSCM by 2030. Growth in the market is anticipated on account of increasing natural gas demand from automotive, industrial, commercial as well as residential end user segments. With an increasing number of favorable initiatives taken in the CGD sector by the Government of India, an rising number of companies are being authorized and granted licenses in Round 9 and 10 to operate in CGD industry in different geographies across the country. For instance, Indian Oil Corporation and Adani Gas Limited won the most licenses for distribution of gas in 17 and 15 geographical areas under the 9th and 10th rounds of city gas distribution, respectively. The government also plans to generate employment by shifting to gas based economy as natural gas is an environment friendly as well as a low-priced fuel. The new and revised regulations helped in gaining more participation from public & private sectors in the CGD market, thereby aiding in expanding the coverage of CGD network to 228 GAs covering overall 70.86% of the cumulative population and 52.80% of the area of the country.

The City Gas Distribution Market in India can be classified based on type, source of supply, end use sector and region. In 2019, the Indian CGD sales were dominated by the CNG segment, owing to stringent environmental regulations and rapidly growing penetration of CNG fitted vehicles in India. Backed by booming PNG and CNG segments, the country’s CGD network is anticipated to witness robust expansion during the forecast period.
