Adani Total Gas highlights government prioritization of domestic piped natural gas and transport compressed natural gas under a new regulatory order Adani Total Gas Limited announced that domestic piped natural gas (PNG) and compressed natural gas (CNG) for transportation have been given priority under a recent government directive, despite ongoing supply challenges caused by geopolitical tensions in the Middle East. The company stated that some of its gas suppliers have reduced deliveries, impacting its ability to meet industrial customer demands. The government’s Natural Gas (Supply Regulation) Order, 2026, issued by the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas on March 9, allocates priority to domestic PNG and CNG for transport, ensuring households and transportation sectors receive first access to supplies. The company welcomed the government’s decision to prioritize gas distribution for domestic use, emphasizing its appreciation for the regulatory measures aimed at securing supply for essential sectors. Adani Total Gas noted that while the new order addresses immediate needs, it also acknowledges the constraints faced by industrial customers, who are now receiving a percentage of their previous consumption levels, subject to availability. The government has indicated it may need to curtail supplies to certain facilities to manage the current shortages. The move comes amid escalating tensions in the Middle East, which have disrupted gas supply chains and created uncertainty for energy companies. Adani Total Gas stated it is currently evaluating the impact of these supply curtailments and the new regulatory framework on its operations.#middle_east #natural_gas_supply_regulation_order_2026 #adani_total_gas #ministry_of_petroleum_and_natural_gas #essential_commodities_act_1955
