GAIL Expands PNG Network in Patna with 39,680 Households Connected
GAIL India is rapidly expanding its Piped Natural Gas (PNG) network across Patna, providing cleaner and more convenient cooking fuel to thousands of households. As of now, a total of 39,680 households in the state capital have been provided PNG connections.
The pipeline carrying PNG has already been laid from Naubatpur to Gandhi Maidan, while another stretch has reached Kankarbagh via Anisabad, Gardanibagh and Mithapur. Additionally, pipeline infrastructure has been extended to several western and central parts of the city, including Jagdeo Path, IGIMS, Gola Road, Danapur, Patel Nagar, CDA Colony, AG Colony, Kesari Nagar, Indrapuri, Pataliputra Colony, Pataliputra Industrial Area, Boring Road, Boring Canal Road and Kidwaipuri.
However, despite the expansion of the pipeline network, the pace of providing household connections has remained slower than expected. As a result, many residents in areas where pipelines have already been installed continue to wait for PNG connections, leading to inconvenience.
