GAIL door-to-door gas connection soon in Jamshedpur

Jamshedpur, June 9: Gail India, one of the Navratna companies of the Government of India, has stepped up the campaign to provide gas connections to every household through pipeline.

Meanwhile, Jamshedpur has been linked to the Pradhan Mantri Urja Ganga Project. Through this project, PNG will be available in Jamshedpur at a cheaper rate.

  GAIL is laying two pipelines under the Urja Ganga pipeline project. Under this, the Jagdishpur-Haldia-Bokaro-Dhamra pipeline (JHBDPL) has a length of 2,655 km. The length of the Barauni-Guwahati pipeline is 729 km. The total length of both the pipelines under the Pradhan Mantri Urja Ganga Project is 3,384 km, out of which 766 km pipeline is in the state of Odisha and the remaining 2,618 km are in the states of Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, West Bengal and Assam.

Under Pradhan Mantri Urja Ganga Project, Government of India has asked Gail India to develop end route city gas distribution projects in Ranchi, Bhubaneshwar, Patna, Varanasi and Cuttack besides Jamshedpur. Pradhan Mantri Urja Ganga Project was started from Varanasi. Gas supply company GAIL has reduced the prices of CNG and PNG in Jamshedpur by Rs 5-7.

In such a situation, PNG expansion in the city will help rapidly. Due to reduction in prices, many companies will get cheaper gas. On the other hand, this pipeline gas connection is about to start in many areas. GAIL has given information in a written form, in which it has been told that the work has been expedited to deliver natural gas to them.

By the end of this year, the work of piped gas will be completed in the areas of Sakchi, Kashidih, Sitaramdera, Bhalubasa, Baradwari, Agrico.

A local resident Shashank Shekhar Swain who had corresponded with GAIL has been intimated by GAIL the the supply of PNG gas has been started in Sonari, Kagalnagar and Kadma areas in a phased manner and it will be completed in this financial year. After this, the supply of PNG will be started in the surrounding areas including Bhalubasa.
