Press Release

India City Gas Distribution Market is Expected to grow at a robust CAGR of 12.5% through 2030

The increasing India City Gas Distribution market is driven by Cost-Effective and Stable Energy Source, Shift Towards Natural Gas in the Industrial Sector during the forecast period 2026-2030.

 

According to TechSci Research report, “India City Gas Distribution Market – By Region, Competition, Forecast & Opportunities, 2020-2030F, The India City Gas Distribution Market was valued at USD 9.7 Billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 19.84 Billion by 2030 with a CAGR of 12.5% during the forecast period. In addition to government initiatives and the rise in cleaner energy adoption, other significant drivers for India’s City Gas Distribution (CGD) market include the growing emphasis on environmental sustainability and energy security. As India aims to reduce its carbon footprint and meet global climate goals, the demand for natural gas as a cleaner alternative to coal and oil is increasing. This aligns with the country's commitment to increasing the share of natural gas in the energy mix from 6% to 15% by 2030.

The industrial sector’s shift towards cleaner fuels. As industries, particularly in manufacturing and chemical sectors, strive to meet stringent environmental regulations, natural gas is becoming the preferred choice for energy needs due to its cost-effectiveness and lower emissions. Furthermore, natural gas offers operational efficiency advantages, driving its adoption in combined heat and power (CHP) systems.

The increased demand for CNG-powered vehicles is also a key driver. With India aiming to reduce vehicular pollution, CNG vehicles are seen as a sustainable alternative to petrol and diesel. The expansion of CNG refueling stations in urban and rural areas further supports this transition, contributing to market growth.

Based on Source of Supply, International Pipeline Trade segment dominated in the India City Gas Distribution Market, The International Pipeline Trade segment has emerged as a dominant force in the India City Gas Distribution (CGD) market, primarily due to the growing demand for natural gas and the country's reliance on external suppliers to meet its energy needs. As India continues its shift toward cleaner energy sources, the need for natural gas has increased significantly, particularly in urban areas where city gas networks are expanding rapidly. With domestic natural gas production not being sufficient to meet the demand, India has turned to international pipeline trade to supplement its supply. This segment involves the import of natural gas through pipelines from neighboring countries like Myanmar and Bangladesh, which offer a reliable and cost-effective solution to bridge the supply-demand gap.

One of the primary drivers for the growth of the international pipeline trade segment in India is the country’s commitment to reducing its carbon footprint and transitioning to cleaner fuels. Natural gas, being more environmentally friendly compared to coal and oil, has been prioritized in India's energy mix. The cross-border pipeline projects have therefore become an integral part of India’s energy strategy. Notably, the India-Myanmar gas pipeline and potential projects involving Iran and Tajikistan are expected to increase the flow of natural gas into the country, further supporting the growth of the CGD market.

Additionally, international pipeline trade offers cost-competitive access to natural gas, making it a preferred choice for India’s City Gas Distribution networks. The pipeline infrastructure ensures a stable, continuous, and uninterrupted supply of gas, reducing the need for expensive and time-consuming imports of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG). This enhances the reliability and affordability of natural gas, particularly for industries and residential consumers who are switching to piped natural gas (PNG) for daily use.

The expansion of the international pipeline trade segment also helps India achieve greater energy security by diversifying its sources of natural gas. This is crucial for a country that is increasingly dependent on energy imports, particularly as domestic natural gas reserves deplete. International pipeline trade helps stabilize prices by providing an alternative to the more volatile LNG market, which is subject to global demand fluctuations and geopolitical events.

Furthermore, government policies and initiatives such as the Pradhan Mantri Urja Ganga and Indian Gas Exchange have promoted cross-border natural gas trade and the development of infrastructure for efficient distribution. The Indian government’s focus on expanding the national gas grid further supports the role of international pipeline trade by ensuring the gas reaches various regions across the country, including remote and underserved areas.

The international pipeline trade segment plays a pivotal role in shaping the India CGD market, addressing the growing demand for natural gas while providing a more reliable and cost-effective supply. With ongoing investments in infrastructure and cross-border collaboration, this segment is expected to remain a key player in India's transition to a cleaner, more sustainable energy future.

“The India City Gas Distribution (CGD) market presents significant opportunities, driven by expanding infrastructure, rising demand for cleaner energy, and government initiatives. One key opportunity lies in the expansion of natural gas pipelines to underserved areas, particularly in tier-2 and tier-3 cities. With the government's focus on enhancing access to clean energy through initiatives like the Pradhan Mantri Urja Ganga project, there is a growing market for piped natural gas (PNG) in residential and commercial sectors. Additionally, the rising adoption of compressed natural gas (CNG) for transportation offers immense potential. As cities face mounting pollution levels, the shift to CNG-powered vehicles, including buses, auto-rickshaws, and private cars, is expected to grow rapidly. This trend, coupled with the expansion of CNG refueling infrastructure, presents a valuable opportunity for CGD companies to capture a larger share of the transportation fuel market. Moreover, the push towards cleaner industrial fuel solutions offers growth prospects. Industrial sectors such as chemicals, textiles, and manufacturing are increasingly switching to natural gas for its cost efficiency and environmental benefits. With India aiming for more sustainable energy solutions, CGD companies have an opportunity to meet the rising demand for natural gas across various sectors.Top of Form” said Mr. Karan Chechi, Research Director of TechSci Research, a research-based Global management consulting firm.
