Decoding Your Assam Gas (AGCL) Bill

Assam Gas Company Limited (AGCL), based in Duliajan, is one of the oldest and most trusted gas distribution companies in India. For decades, they have been providing natural gas to the tea gardens and households of Assam. If you’ve grown up with an AGCL connection, you know the comfort it brings. But as tariffs change, it’s important to understand how your monthly bill is calculated.

In many parts of Assam, the billing was traditionally based on a “Fixed Point” system (based on the number of burners), but many areas have now shifted to “Metered Billing.” Whether you are in Dibrugarh, Tinsukia, or Jorhat, our calculator helps you estimate your costs based on the latest May 2026 guidelines from AGCL.

What Makes AGCL Billing Different?

• Legacy Pricing: Because Assam produces its own natural gas, AGCL often has some of the most stable and affordable rates in the country.
• Meter vs. Non-Meter: If you don’t have a meter, your bill is likely a flat monthly fee. If you have a meter, you pay per SCM (Standard Cubic Meter) of gas consumed.
• Service Charge: A small monthly fee is added for the maintenance of the extensive pipeline network that runs through the hilly and rain-prone terrain of Assam.

5 Essential FAQs for AGCL Consumers

1. Is my gas bill fixed every month in Assam?

It depends on your area. Older connections in some tea gardens and townships still follow a “Domestic Point” system where you pay a flat fee per burner. However, the government is rapidly installing meters everywhere to ensure people only pay for what they use. Check your bill for the term “Metered” or “Non-Metered.”

2. How can I pay my Assam Gas bill online?

AGCL has modernized its payment systems. You can pay through the official portal (assamgas.org) or use UPI apps like PhonePe and Google Pay by entering your Consumer Number. Always keep a digital copy of the receipt for your records.

3. Why is the gas pressure sometimes low in the morning?

During peak morning hours, many households and commercial units are using gas simultaneously. While AGCL maintains high pressure, very cold weather (which is common in Assam winters) can sometimes cause a slight drop. If the pressure is consistently low, there might be a blockage in your internal piping.

4. Is it safe to use a PNG connection during the heavy Assam rains?

Yes, absolutely. The pipeline network is buried deep underground and is designed to handle the heavy monsoon and seismic activity of the North-East. However, ensure that the area around your meter is not waterlogged or prone to soil erosion, as it could damage the external pipes.

5. Can I transfer my AGCL connection to a new house?

Yes, you can apply for a connection transfer within the same supply area. You will need to submit a formal application at the nearest AGCL branch office along with proof of your new residence. A small transfer fee may be applicable.
