Pune: In a significant milestone towards safer and more sustainable urban infrastructure, Amanora Park Town has been officially declared an “LPG-Free Zone.” This achievement marks a progressive shift in urban energy consumption, reinforcing the growing role of Piped Natural Gas (PNG) in modern residential ecosystems.

The declaration was made in the august presence of Aniruddha Deshpande, Managing Director, of Amanora , Kumar Shanker, Managing Director, MNGL; Maj. Shankar Karajagi, Director (Commercial), MNGL; along with senior officials from MNGL and Amanora management, at Amanora Township, Pune,

Amanora Park Town has demonstrated remarkable progress in adopting PNG infrastructure since 2011. Today, the township has achieved 100% PNG penetration across all residential units, with over 10,005 active connections. This transition reflects a well-planned and efficiently executed energy shift aligned with safety, convenience, and environmental sustainability.

The resilience of PNG infrastructure was particularly evident during the COVID-19 pandemic, when disruptions in LPG cylinder supply were observed across several regions. In contrast, PNG ensured uninterrupted 24×7 gas availability, underscoring its reliability and operational efficiency. Building on this experience, the township has systematically restricted LPG cylinder entry and has now fully prohibited its usage within the premises.

By completely transitioning to PNG, Amanora Park Town has set a benchmark for integrated townships and residential communities across India. The move significantly enhances safety by eliminating cylinder-related risks, improves convenience through continuous supply, and contributes to environmental sustainability by promoting cleaner fuel usage.

This achievement serves as a model for other housing societies and urban developments. It highlights the potential of city gas distribution networks in driving large-scale behavioral and infrastructural change.

MNGL continues to encourage residential societies and citizens to adopt PNG and move towards becoming LPG-Free Zones, thereby contributing to a safer, more reliable, and environmentally responsible future.
