Green Gas Limited clarified that only INR 6,000 is payable for piped natural gas connections after residents of Sushant Golf City in Lucknow raised concerns over additional charges collected by the developer. Over 400 households had paid extra amounts, with some charges going up to INR 8,999. The district administration reviewed the matter and directed that no extra fees could be levied. The company stated that its agreement with the developer was limited to infrastructure support and did not allow recovery of additional costs from residents.
Green Gas Limited (GGL) has stated that residents are required to pay only INR 6,000 for piped natural gas (PNG) connections, following complaints from residents of Sushant Golf City in Lucknow about additional charges being collected by the developer. The township, developed by Ansal API, has a large residential base, and the issue had been affecting multiple households. Advertisement
Residents had alleged that the developer was collecting an extra INR 2,950 per connection, citing a memorandum of understanding with GGL. In some cases, earlier charges had gone up to INR 8,999. These collections had reportedly been ongoing since 2023 despite objections from residents and earlier directions from authorities.
A resident welfare association had raised the matter with the district administration after PNG connections became mandatory, leading to increased pressure on residents to pay the additional amount. Officials examined the complaint and found that the developer was not authorised to collect any charges beyond the standard fee.
Authorities acknowledged that the concerns raised by residents were valid and informed the developer that such collections were not permissible. Following this, the additional charges were withdrawn. It is estimated that more than 400 residents had already paid these extra amounts in a township that houses around 12,000 families.
GGL clarified that its agreement with the developer was only for laying and maintaining the gas pipeline network within the township. The company stated that it had not authorised the developer to recover any additional cost from residents under this arrangement. It also confirmed that the INR 6,000 connection fee remains the only applicable charge and is refundable as per policy.
The company further stated that it is expanding its PNG network across Lucknow in line with regulatory requirements and follows standard procedures during installation, including restoring affected areas after pipeline work. It also advised residents not to make any payments beyond the official charges.
The issue also reflects earlier instances where local development authorities had raised concerns about unauthorised charges in residential projects. In this case, residents pointed out that similar instructions had already been issued in the past year, but collections had continued until administrative intervention.
