Haridwar Natural Gas

What Haridwar Natural Gas does

Haridwar Natural Gas Private Limited (HNGPL) is a City Gas Distribution (CGD) operator authorized by India's Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board (PNGRB) to lay, operate, and expand natural gas infrastructure across the entire Haridwar District in Uttarakhand. Incorporated on April 20, 2016 as a joint venture between two Central Government Public Sector Undertakings — Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL) and GAIL Gas — HNGPL operates an integrated pipeline network delivering Piped Natural Gas (PNG) to households, commercial establishments, and industrial users, alongside 11 Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) dispensing stations for automotive customers.

The underlying technology is conventional CGD infrastructure: steel and MDPE pipeline networks with safety valves and pressure regulators, online supply monitoring for leak identification, meter-regulated delivery, and CNG compression stations dispensing at 200-250 Kg/cm². As of November 30, 2025, the company serves 17,006 domestic customers (PNG for cooking and water heating via gas geysers), 102 commercial customers (hotels, restaurants, hospitals, corporate offices), 52 industrial customers (manufacturing facilities such as Rivpra Formulations, Victora Auto, Godrej, Automat Irrigation, and Price Pipes), and operates 11 CNG stations across the geographical area.

The business model is entirely usage-based across four revenue streams: CNG sold per kilogram at Rs. 104.50/KG; domestic PNG billed bi-monthly based on meter readings at Rs. 58/SCM; and industrial and commercial PNG also metered and billed per SCM. Customer acquisition is enterprise-field-sales-led for industrial/commercial segments (direct contact via [email protected] and phone 09953909486), self-serve online-application for domestic connections, and physical-retail via CNG stations for automotive users. Refundable gas security deposits (raised from Rs. 500 to Rs. 1,000 effective September 2023) provide additional working capital. The company also invests in ongoing network build-out via tendered Last Mile Connectivity contracts.

• Indraprastha Gas Limited (IGL): Largest listed City Gas Distribution company in India, supplying CNG and PNG across Delhi, NCR and adjoining areas. Directly comparable business model (PNGRB-authorized CGD operator with domestic, commercial, industrial PNG and CNG retail) and offers the benchmark for what scaled HNGPL could become.
• Mahanagar Gas Limited (MGL): Listed CGD operator serving Mumbai and surrounding areas with CNG and PNG (domestic, commercial, industrial). Closely comparable in product mix, regulatory structure, and customer segmentation to HNGPL, though at significantly larger scale.
• Gujarat Gas Limited: One of India's largest CGD companies distributing natural gas across multiple authorized geographies in Gujarat. Comparable product mix (CNG, PNG-domestic, industrial, commercial) and similar regulatory framework under PNGRB authorization.
• Adani Total Gas Limited: Listed CGD operator with multiple PNGRB-authorized Geographical Areas across India. Operates CNG stations and PNG networks for domestic, commercial, and industrial customers — directly comparable business model to HNGPL but at national scale.
