Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) distributors are a worried lot with CNG companies aiming to cover large number of consumers. “The first targets will be our own customers and oil marketing companies are not telling us anything. Our agreements with the OMCs are renewed every five years. If we are given a heads up, we can diversify into some other vocation,” said a city-based distributor.
Throughout the State, an estimated 1.5 lakh persons are involved in the LPG business. “This includes those working in bottling plants, right from the security personnel to the unskilled labourers. Though this gas is a cleaner and safer fuel, the government must ensure a smooth transition for those in the trade,” said another distributor, who expressed concern about distributors in rural areas.
“These people have been admitted within the last five years and are young and have pinned their hopes on the business,” he pointed out.
