THINK Gas has certified households across 4 large residential communities serving 1000+ families.

Jodhpur, May 12, 2026: THINK Gas, one of India’s leading City Gas Distribution (CGD) companies, today conducted the declaration of ‘LPG Free Zones’ initiative in the Jodhpur geographical area. This initiative is aimed at accelerating the adoption of Piped Natural Gas (PNG) with THINK Gas officials handing over the LPG Free Zone certification to the association of Victorian Palace, recognizing the society’s large-scale transition to PNG.  

In continuation of this initiative, THINK Gas has certified a total of four large residential communities across the Jodhpur Geographical Area (GA) as “LPG Free Zones”, recognizing societies that have significantly transitioned households from LPG cylinders to PNG connections.  The certified communities together account for over 1000+ households, which have already transitioned to PNG. 

The first set of communities recognized under the initiative include Veetrag City, Ashiana Dwarka(Except EWS), Victorian palace, Arihant Adita (Except Estella building) located across the Jodhpur region. 

The initiative encourages residents across the area to choose PNG in residential communities while also creating awareness on the convenience, uninterrupted supply and long-term value offered by piped gas infrastructure. 

Speaking on the launch of the initiative, Mr. Vinod Chawada, Regional Head – BJJ GA, THINK Gas, said, “Through the LPG Free Zone declaration, we aim to work closely with residential communities to accelerate PNG adoption and build greater awareness around piped gas infrastructure. We are encouraged by the response seen across these communities and remain committed to supporting more households in making a seamless transition to PNG.” 

THINK Gas stated that the initiative will continue to expand across the Jodhpur GA over the coming months, with plans to certify additional residential communities that achieve large scale PNG adoption. The recognition drive also aligns with the broader push towards strengthening urban gas infrastructure and increasing access to PNG among households.
