Adani Total gets PNGRB nod

Adani Total Gas Ltd (ATGL) has received approval from the Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board (PNGRB) to establish a city gas distribution (CGD) network in Jalandhar, Punjab. This move aligns with Adani Total?s strategy to expand its gas distribution footprint across India, enhancing access to clean energy and contributing to the country?s sustainable development goals.

The PNGRB nod allows ATGL to set up infrastructure for the distribution of compressed natural gas (CNG) for vehicles and piped natural gas (PNG) for residential, commercial, and industrial use. This initiative is expected to improve the accessibility of cleaner fuel alternatives in Jalandhar, reducing dependence on conventional fuels and contributing to environmental conservation.

The CGD project in Jalandhar will involve laying down an extensive network of pipelines to ensure a steady supply of natural gas to various sectors. The infrastructure development will include setting up CNG stations for vehicles, which will promote the use of CNG as a more environmentally friendly fuel compared to petrol and diesel. Additionally, the provision of PNG to households and industries will support the transition to cleaner energy sources, thus reducing carbon emissions.

Adani Total?s expansion into Jalandhar is part of a broader plan to enhance India?s gas infrastructure and promote the use of natural gas as a key energy source. The company aims to establish CGD networks in multiple cities across the country, ensuring a reliable and cost-effective supply of natural gas. This effort is expected to contribute significantly to India?s goal of increasing the share of natural gas in its energy mix from the current 6% to 15% by 2030.

The establishment of the CGD network in Jalandhar will not only provide economic benefits by generating employment opportunities during the construction and operational phases but will also play a crucial role in improving the region's air quality. With the increasing focus on sustainable development, initiatives like these are vital for achieving long-term environmental goals.
