CNG for urban cities

By Our Special Correspondent

NEW DELHI, JAN. 19. The Union Government has drawn up ambitious plans for spreading the benefits of CNG to other urban centres in India in view of expected improvement in the availability of natural gas and arrival of LNG at Dahej by the end of this month.

This was indicated by B. K. Chaturvedi, Secretary, Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, while addressing a seminar on `Alternative energy driven vehicles' at the 7th Auto Expo 2004, organised jointly by the Confederation of Indian Industry, the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers and the Auto Components Manufacturers Association of India. Mr. Chaturvedi said with free availability of natural gas, it would be possible to start dispensing CNG in cities not covered so far.

Fauzi Bowo, Vice Governor of Greater Jakarta, Indonesia, on the occasion, said Delhi had done exemplary well in converting public vehicles to the CNG mode. He said Jakarta would like to implement the same kind of initiative.
