Motorists in Calcutta will soon get access to clean fuel CNG (compressed natural gas) with two gas dispensing stations on the outskirts of the city getting ready for commission.
A gas cascade mounted on a truck has been dispatched from Ranigunj on Friday which will supply fuel at the CNG stations coming up at Garia and Newtown, Rajarhat, kicking off the process of throwing open these facilities for public use.
Essar Oil & Gas Exploration and Production Ltd (EOGEPL), the company which is operating a coal bed methane block at Ranigunj, east Burdwan, will initially supply CNG (natural gas compressed under 250 times of atmospheric pressure due to ease of transportation) to the stations which will be run by Bengal Gas Company Ltd.
