Kitchen planning isn't only about cabinets and countertops. The gas system you get decides day-to-day convenience, safety, and even how your monthly bills look. In a large township like Godrej MSR City, Shettigere, gas supply is designed at the campus level and then brought into each tower. Most new high-rise communities in Bengaluru follow a centralised, reticulated pipeline with individual meters for each flat. That means the project handles the network inside the campus, and homeowners receive metered gas right at the kitchen point. Since Godrej MSR City is being delivered in phases, commissioning can align with the tower's handover and the city gas utility's rollout schedule. Your Agreement for Sale and the phase-wise specification annexure will confirm the final setup for your tower.

Centralised PNG vs Individual Cylinders: What It Actually Means

• Centralised PNG (piped natural gas) with individual metering: Each apartment gets a regulator and meter, and you pay for what you consume. No cylinders, no refill hassle, and safer operation.
• Reticulated LPG as a temporary step: Bulk LPG bank within the premises piped to flats until PNG activation. Behaves like PNG for residents.
• Standalone cylinders: Old model, less convenient in high-rises due to refill and storage challenges.

What to Expect Inside the Apartment at Godrej MSR City

• Kitchen gas point ready for a pipeline connection
• Provision for meter and pressure regulator with shut-off valve
• Leak-safety features as per tower annexure
• Clear routing for protected and inspectable pipes

Activation Timeline: Who Does What

• Before possession: Developer completes internal reticulation, residents apply with city gas distributor
• At possession: Meter and regulator installation, leak test, and PNG conversion kit if needed
• After possession: Monthly metered bills, induction or temporary cylinder until live PNG if delayed

Costs to Budget for a Piped System

• One-time charges: deposit/connection fee, meter installation, and possible stove conversion kit
• Monthly bill: based on individual metered consumption
• Society O&M: minor pipeline upkeep after handover

Safety You Can Count On

• Low working pressure with quick shut-off valve
• Periodic leak checks by utility/society
• Proper ventilation during use
• No tampering with meters/regulators; emergency protocols to follow if gas is detected

How to Confirm the System for Your Tower

• System type: PNG from Day 1, reticulated LPG interim, or go-live timeline
• Meter location and accessibility
• Leak detector provision
• Shut-off and emergency protocols
• Billing and deposits process
• Cooktop compatibility and conversion kit details

FAQs

• Will gas be live at possession?
  Depends on phase and utility schedule; some towers may need a short bridging period.
• Can I start with a cylinder and switch later?
  Yes, temporary cylinders or induction cooking until PNG is commissioned.
• Do I need a new stove?
  Not always; most LPG stoves can be converted with a kit.
• Will I get a separate bill?
  Yes, each flat gets its own monthly gas bill based on usage.
• Any difference in taste or flame?
  PNG delivers a clean, consistent flame equivalent to LPG.

The Bottom Line

Godrej MSR City is planned for a centralised, reticulated gas network with individual metering for each home. While most towers aim to have PNG live near handover, some phases may temporarily use reticulated LPG or allow induction until commissioning. Confirm the final setup, meter location, and activation schedule in writing for your tower so your kitchen runs smoothly, cylinder-free, and predictable.
