CNG capacity is sufficient at 70 lakh kg/day: Indraprastha Gas

“While the current average daily CNG sale of IGL is over 25 lakh kg per day, the existing refueling

infrastructure is enough to dispense over 35 lakh kg per day through a comfortable fueling experience to

our customers,” IGL’s MD Narendra Kumar has been quoted as saying.

Indraprastha Gas Ltd (IGL), the city gas distributor in the National Capital Region (NCR), said on Thursday

that its CNG compression capacity of over 70 lakh kg per day is more than enough to meet the growth in

demand for the fuel after the Supreme Court’s decision banning diesel taxis in the city.

“While the current average daily CNG sale of IGL is over 25 lakh kg per day, the existing refueling

infrastructure is enough to dispense over 35 lakh kg per day through a comfortable fueling experience to

our customers,” IGL’s MD Narendra Kumar has been quoted as saying.

IGL also said that 73 new CNG filling facilities have been set up at retail outlets of oil marketing

companies (OMC) such as IOC, BPCL and HPCL since January 2016.

The company provides fuel to more than 8.5 lakh vehicles in NCR.

“While 52 out of these fueling facilities are located in the Delhi, 21 are in the nearby towns of Greater

Noida and Ghaziabad,” IGL said in the statement.
