BGCL plans PNG supply in Hooghly by Feb
Kolkata: Bengal Gas Company Limited (BGCL) plans to start piped natural gas (PNG) supply to parts of Hooghly by Feb next year. PNG supply will begin after the company finishes building the 20 kilometres-long pipeline from Rajarambai near Mogra to Swetpur More on Delhi Road. BGCL has already set up a compressed natural gas (CNG) mother station at Jhapa, near Mogra, which is set to start operations by the end of Oct.
“We will supply 15 tonnes of CNG from Jhapa mother station increasing our daily offerings to 50 tonnes from 35 tonnes now,” said BGCL chief executive officer (CEO) Anupam Mukherjee, adding that this will reduce the demand-supply gap to an extent.
