BPCL launches national PNG & CNG Drive 2.0, promoting ‘Non-Stop Zindagi’ with cleaner energy

Mumbai, Jan 21 (UNI) Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL), a Fortune Global 500 company and a Maharatna PSU, on Wednsaday announced the national rollout of PNG & CNG Drive 2.0, aligned with India’s clean energy transition and the Government of India’s vision of enhancing the share of natural gas in the country’s energy mix.
The event marked the national launch of television commercials under PNG Drive 2.0, being conducted on behalf of the PNGRB Industry Committee.
The newly-unveiled PNG and CNG TVCs featured actor and Member of Parliament Ravi Kishan endorsing Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), and actor Sakshi Tanwar promoting Piped Natural Gas (PNG), to highlight the safety, affordability, convenience and environmental benefits of natural gas, while reinforcing the industry’s collective commitment to India’s clean energy transition, a release said.
The nationwide campaign, being conducted from January 1 to March 31, 2026, is being implemented under the guidance of the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas (MoPNG) and the Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board (PNGRB), with active participation from all City Gas Distribution (CGD) entities across the country.
The initiative aims to accelerate adoption of Piped Natural Gas (PNG) for households, commercial and industrial users, and Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) for mobility, reinforcing cleaner, safer and more reliable energy access.
Subhankar Sen, Director (Marketing), BPCL, while addressing the press conference, said, “PNG & CNG Drive 2.0 is a strong step towards nation-building and improving ease of living for citizens. Natural gas delivers safety, reliability and uninterrupted supply - right from kitchens to mobility, while significantly reducing carbon emissions. With India’s rapid urbanisation and mobility growth, this transition supports cleaner air, modern living and the vision of a gas-based economy.”
The campaign theme ‘Non-Stop Zindagi’ highlights the convenience of natural gas as ‘gas on tap’, a worry-free, continuous and safe fuel for homes, businesses and transportation. PNG eliminates the need for cylinder refills while ensuring controlled pressure and enhanced safety, whereas CNG enables cleaner mobility without compromising driving experience.
Speaking at the event, Rahul Tandon, Business Head – Gas, said the initiative reflects a pan-India collaboration among public and private CGD entities to position natural gas not merely as a utility, but as a life enabler, supporting households, mobility, commerce and industry while advancing India’s climate commitments, including Net Zero by 2070.
Neera Asthana Phate, General Manager, Corporate Communications & CRM · Mahanagar Gas Limited, highlighted, that “PNG powers homes, offices and restaurants, while CNG fuels cars, buses and commercial transport." She emphasised that PNG and CNG remain constant companions throughout one’s lifetime, enabling cleaner living and mobility. She added that reaching people is crucial and expressed confidence that this initiative will drive a nationwide clean energy movement for India.
