CNG in short supply in city
The Hindu
Very few vehicles running on clean, green and cheap fuel
The commissioning of the Kochi-Mangaluru Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) pipeline in January and the opening of six CNG dispensing stations in February are yet to proliferate the use of cleaner, greener and cheaper fuel in Mangaluru for want of adequate supply.
While commissioning the 450-km LNG pipeline on January 5, 2021, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had said that the pipeline will herald a new growth, in the automobile, industrial and domestic fronts. Nine months after the commissioning, compressed natural gas availability for vehicles has remained limited to a very few vehicles.
Yashwanth Kadri, who is in the road transport sector, said that he will see long queues of CNG-run vehicles waiting for fuel at the Kavoor dispensing station throughout the day. Many goods vehicles from Bengaluru and other areas running on CNG wait at the station to fill up, he said.
