In a move similar to mobile number portability, cooking gas consumers will soon be allowed to change their supplier without altering their existing connection, offering more choice and improved service. Oil regulator Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board (PNGRB) has invited stakeholder and consumer comments on the LPG Interoperability Framework. However, LPG consumers were in 2014 allowed limited options of changing only their dealers, not the oil company. An LPG consumer in these markets could switch to the distributor of his/her choice within a cluster of LPG distributors in the vicinity under the LPG Connection Portability Scheme. Once comments are received, PNGRB will frame rules and guidelines for LPG portability and fix a date for its rollout in the country.
