Delhi’s Indraprastha Gas to set up gas meter manufacturing unit to cut dependence on imports
NEW DELHI: As city gas distribution network in India expands rapidly, Indraprastha Gas Ltd plans to set up a factory to manufacture gas meters used to bill households and industries for the consumption of the environment-friendly fuel, as it looks to cut reliance on imports from China for the same.
IGL will invest about Rs 100 crore for setting up a unit in the national capital region to manufacture 1 million meters annually, its Managing Director ES Ranganathan said here. The plan is part of the Modi government’s push towards raising the share of environment-friendly fuel in India’s energy basket to 15 per cent by 2030 from the current 6.2 per cent.
