India’s CNG network has expanded significantly as City Gas Distribution (CGD) companies have developed CNG stations across cities, towns, highways and other geographical areas. For CNG vehicle owners, fleet operators and people searching for CNG pumps, knowing which company operates a CNG network in a particular area can be useful.
This guide provides an overview of the CGD entities involved in India’s CNG distribution network, along with their operating areas and contact information where publicly available.
Important: Company networks, geographical areas, station numbers and customer-care details can change. Always verify the latest information with the concerned company or the Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board (PNGRB) before relying on it.
What is a CGD Company?
CGD stands for City Gas Distribution. CGD entities distribute natural gas through a network of pipelines and CNG stations within their authorized geographical areas.
For vehicle users, the most visible part of a CGD network is the CNG station where compressed natural gas is dispensed into vehicles. However, a CGD company may also supply piped natural gas (PNG) to domestic, commercial and industrial customers.
PNGRB regulates the City Gas Distribution sector in India and authorizes entities to develop CGD networks in designated geographical areas.
How Many CNG Stations Are There in India?
According to the PNGRB dashboard, India had 9,096 CNG stations as of July 2026. PNGRB identifies the data as CGD data submitted by CGD entities.
The number of CNG stations changes as new stations are commissioned and existing networks are expanded. Therefore, station counts should always be associated with a specific date.
How Many CGD Entities Are Involved in CNG Distribution?
PNGRB’s March 2026 CGD report categorized the CNG network into 41 entities for its entity-category analysis.
These were grouped into:
- 6 PSU and 100% subsidiary entities
- 21 joint ventures of PSU companies
- 14 private entities
The March 2026 report recorded 8,456 CNG stations excluding sub-judice geographical areas in this entity-category analysis. The national CNG-station count subsequently increased, with PNGRB reporting 9,096 stations as of July 2026.

Note: The table should be treated as a directory of CGD entities, not as a claim that each row represents a separate nationwide CNG company. PNGRB’s authorization structure is based on geographical areas, and the same corporate group may have different legal entities or operating arrangements in different areas.
What Do These Companies Do?
CGD entities generally develop and operate natural-gas distribution infrastructure within their authorized geographical areas. Their activities can include supplying PNG to customers and developing CNG dispensing infrastructure for vehicles.
The CNG station network can include company-operated outlets as well as stations operated through authorized dealers, oil marketing companies or other business arrangements.
Why Does the CNG Company Name Matter?
Knowing the CNG company operating a station can be useful when you need information about:
- CNG station locations
- Customer-care services
- Complaints or service issues
- Station operating information
- CNG availability in a particular geographical area
- New CNG station locations
- PNG or CNG connection information
- Emergency contact information
CNG Company and CNG Station Are Not Always the Same
A common mistake is to assume that the name displayed on a CNG pump is always the name of the CGD entity.
A CNG station may operate under a CGD company while also being located at an Indian Oil, BPCL, HPCL or other fuel station. The company supplying the CNG and the company operating the retail fuel station can therefore be different.
For this reason, CNG station directories should maintain separate fields for the CGD company and the CNG station name.
How to Find a CNG Pump Near You
If you are looking for a CNG filling station, you can use the CNGIndia CNG pump directory to search by state, city or location.
The directory is being developed to cover CNG stations across India and will be expanded as additional station-level information is collected and verified.
CNG Stations in India: Why Station-Level Data Is Important
A national CNG station count tells us how many stations exist, but it does not tell a vehicle owner where every station is located.
For a useful CNG pump directory, station-level information should include the state, city, CGD company, station name and complete address. Additional information such as PIN code, coordinates, station status and last verification date can make the directory even more useful.
How CNGIndia Is Building Its CNG Station Directory
CNGIndia is developing its CNG pump directory using station-level information from available public and company sources.
The objective is to maintain a structured database containing information such as:
- State
- City
- CNG company
- CNG station name
- Station address
- Source of information
- Last verified date
This approach allows duplicate stations to be identified and makes it easier to update the directory when new stations are commissioned or existing information changes.
Official Source for CGD Information
The Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board (PNGRB) is the statutory regulator responsible for regulating the City Gas Distribution sector in India.
PNGRB publishes CGD statistics, geographical-area information and authorized-entity information. Its CGD reports are based on data submitted by the concerned entities.
For the latest national station count, PNGRB reported 9,096 CNG stations as of July 2026.

Final Thoughts
India’s CNG network is supported by a large group of CGD entities operating across different geographical areas. Understanding the difference between a CGD company, a CNG station and the fuel-station operator is important when building or using a CNG station directory.
Because the network continues to expand, CNG station numbers and company information should always be treated as time-sensitive data. For the latest regulatory and network information, users should verify important details with PNGRB and the concerned CGD entity.
