HPOIL Gas

What HPOIL Gas does

HPOIL Gas Private Limited (HOGPL) is a City Gas Distribution (CGD) company incorporated on 30 November 2018 as a joint venture between two Maharatna Indian public-sector undertakings, Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL) and Oil India Limited (OIL). The Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board (PNGRB) has authorized HPOIL to build, develop, and operate CGD networks in three geographical areas: Kolhapur (Maharashtra), Ambala-Kurukshetra (Haryana), and Nagaland. Across these regions, the company delivers Piped Natural Gas (PNG) to domestic, commercial, and industrial consumers and Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) to the transport sector, supplemented by a nascent Compressed Biogas (CBG) product line in Kolhapur.

The company's core technology is physical CGD infrastructure — a 1,500+ km pipeline network and 60 CNG stations — backed by digital self-service layers including a customer web portal (cportal.hpoilgas.in) and the 'MY HPOIL GAS' mobile application on Android and iOS for bill viewing, payments, and new connection registration. Operations are supported by customer helplines, IVRS, SMS, and WhatsApp booking channels. CBG is sourced through a tripartite agreement with GAIL (India) and Satish Sugars Limited under the CGD-CBG synchronization scheme, providing a sustainable-fuel extension to the conventional PNG/CNG portfolio.

HPOIL's revenue model combines recurring/utility-style income from domestic PNG subscriptions with usage-based revenue from CNG dispensing and CBG sales. The company serves a horizontal segmentation spanning households (primary), commercial establishments, industrial facilities, and vehicle owners. With 60,000+ domestic PNG connections and a stated ambition to become a preferred natural-gas distribution company in India, HPOIL is in execution mode on its authorized geographies, evidenced by 2025 milestones including the Nagaland IGGL hook-up agreement, CBG retail expansion, and continued digital channel deployment. Revenue figures are not publicly disclosed, and the company remains a privately held JV under the control of its two PSU parents.
