Chairperson, PNGRB Launches National Drive 2.0 for THINK Gas to Accelerate PNG and CNG Adoption
Strengthening India’s transition towards a gas-based economy, THINK Gas, one of India’s leading City Gas Distribution (CGD) companies, today kicked off the implementation of the Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board’s (PNGRB) National Drive 2.0 with an inaugural event at Jodhpur. The campaign was inaugurated by Dr. Anil Kumar Jain, IAS, Chairperson - PNGRB, in the presence of Mr. Amitava Sengupta, Chairman . The nationwide campaign advances the vision of “One Nation, One Grid, One Tariff” by expanding PNG access and accelerating CNG adoption across India. L to R: Mr. Gaurav Agarwal, IAS, District Collector of Jodhpur; Dr Anil Kumar Jain, Chairperson, PNGRB, and Mr Amitava Sengupta, Chairman, THINK Gas As part of this campaign, THINK Gas also announced its commitment to connect 30000+ households with PNG connections and enhance the CNG station network across 10 states. During the inaugural event, THINK Gas commenced the operations of PNG Connection to 500 households in Ashiana Dwarka - Premium Homes and flagged off a CNG rally to signify the strengthening of CNG adoption in the region. Speaking on the occasion, Dr Anil Kumar Jain, Chairperson, Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board (PNGRB), said, “National Drive 2.0 is a focused initiative of PNGRB to deepen the reach of City Gas Distribution networks and accelerate the adoption of PNG and CNG across the country. The Unified Tariff framework is enhancing affordability, transparency, and access, ensuring that regulatory reforms translate into direct consumer benefits. With nearly 60% of Jodhpur city covered, over 51,000 households connected, and domestic PNG prices reduced by Rs. 2.77 per SCM from January 1, 2026, the impact at the household level is clearly visible. Such LNG-based CGD models are replicable for expanding clean, reliable, and economical energy to far-flung areas. I am confident that National Drive 2.0 will significantly accelerate PNG and CNG adoption nationwide and strengthen India’s clean energy ecosystem.” Commenting on the initiative, Mr. Amitava Sengupta, Chairman, THINK Gas, said, “PNGRB’s National Drive 2.0 is a landmark initiative that will play a pivotal role in accelerating the adoption of PNG and CNG across India. This drive comes close on the heels of the implementation of landmark tariff reforms by the PNGRB when Domestic PNG and CNG segments will benefit from a preferential tariff system. We thank Dr. Anil Kumar Jain, Chairperson, PNGRB, and the Board for their leadership in creating a progressive regulatory framework, that enables wider access to clean and affordable natural gas. THINK Gas has exemplified this vision by investing over Rs. 510 crore in the Barmer-Jodhpur-Jaisalmer Geographical Area and adopting a unique LCNG-based hybrid supply model to ensure uninterrupted gas supply even in the absence of pipeline connectivity. Building on the strong response to last year’s National Drive, which witnessed significant on-ground enrolments and increased CNG adoption, we will further intensify customer outreach across our Geographical Areas to support India’s transition towards a gas-based economy.” As part of THINK Gas’s active participation in National Drive 2.0 , the campaign will be rolled out from January to March 2026 across the 10 states where THINK Gas has presence - Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Bihar, Punjab, Madhya Pradesh and Himachal Pradesh. Aligning with PNGRB’s Unified Tariff revision, THINK Gas has also announced significant reduction in prices across its operating Geographical Areas which will benefit the end consumer. Under the revised framework, domestic PNG prices have been reduced by up to Rs. 5/SCM (standard cubic meter), while CNG prices have been reduced up to Rs. 2.50/KG in select Geographical Areas. Additionally, THINK Gas has reduced Domestic PNG prices by up to Rs. 4/SCM in Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu, and by up to Rs. 2.77/SCM in Rajasthan, even though these states are not yet connected to the National Gas Grid and are not benefiting from the tariff reforms at present. The multitude of customer centric reforms and initiatives of the PNGRB are expected to result in a significant increase in the adoption of DPNG and CNG in the country. About THINK Gas THINK Gas, the merged entity of AG&P Pratham and THINK Gas, is a leading player in India’s City Gas Distribution (CGD) business. We hold 19 CGD licenses awarded by the Petroleum & Natural Gas Regulatory Board (PNGRB) under the aegis of Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas (MoPNG) to exclusively develop CGD infrastructure and provide natural gas across 49 Districts in the 10 states of Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Himachal Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, Punjab, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh and Tamil Nadu.

McDonald's Merry Meal's Socks Sparked Festive FOMO
McDonald's India (West & South), owned and operated by Westlife Foodworld, witnessed an overwhelming consumer response to its limited-edition Santa Socks, launched as part of the Merry Meal. The festive merchandise was completely sold out across West and South India before Christmas, turning a seasonal collectible into one of the most talked-about festive drops of the year. McDonald’s India’s Christmas Special Santa Socks Sold Out in 5 Days Demand surged rapidly, led by Mumbai as the fastest-selling city, followed closely by Ahmedabad. The campaign saw 1,50,000 socks sold just within five days, reflecting the speed and scale at which consumer excitement translated into action. The buzz around the Santa socks was driven by consumers themselves. More than 200+ organic social media reels featuring the Socks appeared across platforms, creating a strong sense of FOMO and urgency around the collectible. Some went a step further and created their own versions of the socks, wearing lookalikes simply to feel part of the moment. A key factor behind this response was the creative approach. Instead of releasing a traditional festive brand film, the brand chose to tell the story through a Gen Z–forward, lifestyle film that felt authentic to the way people consume and share content today. The film helped position the Merry Meal as a cultural moment that felt fun, relatable, and worth sharing. As the year turns and festive moments linger, the McDonald’s India Socks story stands as proof that when cultural insight meets organic consumer love, even a small festive detail can leave a lasting impression! www.instagram.com/reel/DSPnAHjkc1u/?hl=en Over the years, McDonald’s has delighted fans across ages with iconic toys, novelties and seasonal keepsakes. Building on this legacy, the Merry Meal brought that excitement back with a collectible and limited edition pair of Christmas Socks, available in two unique festive designs, which fans could wear, gift, and swap or add to their growing McDonald’s memorabilia. Lavdeep Walia, Chief Strategy & Growth Officer, McDonald’s India (W&S) , said, “ For decades, we have been part of countless family moments. The Merry Meal was designed to bring families and friends together over great food, festive fun and a little extra cheer, because nothing says celebration like a delicious meal with a surprise that warms your heart (and your feet!). This initiative was our way of strengthening everyday occasions and creating touchpoints that keep people coming together at our restaurants. Our intent is to continue shaping occasions wherein communities gather, celebrate and create memories that last beyond the meal.” About Westlife Westlife Foodworld Limited (BSE: 505533) (WFL), formerly known as Westlife Development Ltd (WDL), focuses on setting up and operating Quick Service Restaurants (QSR) in India through its subsidiary Hardcastle Restaurants Pvt.

Over 1,000 participants, including 500 Young Leaders, joined a fitness festival followed by a Cycle Rally, despite the 6-degree winter cold at 7 am. The rally was led by Union Minister of Youth Affairs and Sports Mansukh Mandaviya, with tennis legend Leander Paes, badminton star Pullela Gopichand, and emerging international wrestler Shivani Pawar among the attendees. Young Leaders from all over the country participating in the three-day Viksit Bharat Young Leaders Dialogue - a national platform to identify and promote youth interested in public service - took the spotlight as special invitees during the 56th Fit India Sundays on Cycle. This event was held at 15000 locations, with Bhopal hosting a major event attended by Madhya Pradeshs Minister of Youth Affairs and Sports, Shri Vishvas Kailash Sarang, who launched the cycling rally alongside actress Payal Rohatgi and a distinguished group of athletes, including Olympian judoka Garima Choudhary. Speaking at the Delhi event, Mandaviya said, A healthy body is the foundation of strong leadership. Cycling teaches us powerful leadership lessonsit tells us when to pedal fast, when to slow down, and most importantly, how to maintain balance to keep moving forward in life. Gopichand appreciated the Union Minister's vision of launching the Sundays on Cycle initiative, and said, It is motivating to see a Minister not just putting so much thought to make fitness a part of everyday life, but also leading the entire movement from the front. The fact that he himself participates in this event on Sunday morning after a hard week's work speaks volumes about his commitment to creating a Fit India. Echoing his sentiments, Gopichand added, Today we have fun on our fingertips so we have forgotten to have fun in nature, to step out and be part of the outside world, so I appreciate those who have turned up here today. Paes emphasised the significance of developing community fitness campaigns like Fit India. No one can do fitness alone, you need to motivate each other and be part of the community because fitness is not just about having a strong body but also a fit mind which can be achieved when we participate in community events as this one. I congratulate the Sports Minister Sir for creating something so unique, and to think this is happening parallely across the country, it's phenomenal, he said. Enhancing the festive mood, the morning included lively Zumba, calming yoga, and exciting electric Mallakhamb and rope-skipping shows by athletes, earning loud applause. Fit India Ambassadors Timsy Bector and Divya Ahuja participated and shared key winter fitness tips, emphasising the importance of ongoing workouts and simple warm-ups at home, especially for seniors unable to go out. The multi-activity event, offering something for everyone, has become a favourite spot for families to spend Sunday mornings together. Yogesh Pant, a 33-year-old IT professional attending the Delhi event with his wife, 4-year-old son, and father, was exuberant when he said, I hardly get time during the week to go out with my family, this event is a perfect spot where my father did his yoga and we participated in Zumba. My 4-year-old was elated to be part of the crowd, we have made some nice videos of him dancing, this will be a memory for us and we intend to come back every week. In Bhopal, Sports Minister Vishvas Kailash Sarang echoed the 'Fit India, Hit India' mantra of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. I congratulate the Union Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports and the Sports Authority of India for giving out the nationwide message of fitness through this cycling movement.

Women Entrepreneurs Are Entering Sectors Once Dominated by Men: Tide Insights
India is witnessing a decisive shift in the way women participate in entrepreneurship, with rising numbers of young women from Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities entering sectors traditionally seen as male-dominated — from device repair to accounting and compliance services, according to new internal data released by Tide1, the UK’s leading business management platform. Women between 27 and 31 years old form a significant share of new business owners on the Tide platform, reflecting India’s broader working-age population profile. With over 180,000 women entrepreneurs, women currently account for 18.7% of Tide’s India member base. This age cohort represents India’s largest demographic segment and is increasingly visible on digital business platforms — as part of a wider formalisation shift among women choosing entrepreneurship as a viable and structured livelihood pathway. Women Entrepreneurs Are Entering Sectors Once Dominated by Men: Tide Insights This surge is most visible outside metros. Across smaller towns such as Gulharia in Uttar Pradesh, Harnul in Maharashtra, Bisrakh in Uttar Pradesh, and Indore in Madhya Pradesh, women from India’s working-age population are formalising skill-based and service-led enterprises through digital platforms. While women in their late twenties and early thirties are prominently represented — in line with India’s largest demographic cohort — the growth reflects broader participation across working-age women, pointing to a structural shift towards entrepreneurship for long-term financial independence and flexibility in non-metro India. Women Expanding Beyond Traditional Sectors – New Categories Gain Momentum While sectors like tailoring and beauty services have long been dominated by women, Tide’s data reveals a notable rise in women-led businesses across skilled services and tech-driven categories. These include: Mobile, tablets, and computer repair, led by women in West Bengal and urban clusters of Tier 2 cities Accounting and tax services, with young women taking up formal financial and compliance-led business roles Nursing and personal care services, emerging strongly from Madhya Pradesh Sewing machines and micro-manufacturing now formalising through digital payments and accounting tools This shift underscores how Indian women are breaking occupational stereotypes, entering previously male-dominated sectors, and adopting digital tools to scale their income. Gurjodhpal Singh, CEO, Tide in India, said, “What’s most inspiring is how women are breaking stereotypes — whether it’s repairing devices, managing accounting services, or running nursing-led service models. This shift represents a generational transition. Women in their late twenties and early thirties enter entrepreneurship with stronger digital familiarity and a clear desire for self-determined growth. For many, this phase has become the launchpad for building businesses that contribute directly to household incomes and local employment.” More Women Are Formalising Their Businesses — A Post-2025 Trend The rise of women-led businesses is closely tied to digital adoption. Tide’s data shows a sharp jump of 111% in new women-led businesses between March and November 2025, indicating a broader trend of women moving towards formalisation, digital payments, and regulated business practices. This trend is especially strong among women in their early careers (late 20s to early 30s), many of whom are running solo businesses while managing families, caregiving responsibilities, or flexible work arrangements. These behaviours are strengthening credit visibility and enabling more women to access financial products needed for growth — a persistent hurdle for women microentrepreneurs in India. Key Tide Products Driving Growth for Women-Led Businesses Women-led businesses on Tide are not only growing in number but are also emerging as high-engagement digital users on the platform. The top three products used by women entrepreneurs are: 1. Debit Services Women entrepreneurs are actively using Tide’s debit services to streamline day-to-day business spending. With seamless card management, real-time tracking, and secure transactions, debit usage helps them maintain tighter control on their business finances. 2. Bill Payments Women are increasingly adopting digital bill payments to manage utility expenses, vendor payments, and recurring business costs. This shift towards structured financial management helps them maintain clean records and improve creditworthiness. 3. Payment Acceptance via QR Codes QR-based payments are playing a central role in helping women-run microbusinesses — from sewing shops to repair desks to home-based services — accepting customer payments instantly and securely has removed cash-dependence and improved business visibility. Tide will continue to expand its digital tools, financial education initiatives, and on-ground programmes to support women-owned businesses across Tier 2, 3, 4 and 5 India, as part of its commitment to help 500,000 women entrepreneurs start and run their businesses by 2027.
