Replying to another query about Gajraula in U.P., he added that Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board(PNGRB) has identified Hapur Geographical Area for development of CGD Network, which includes Gajraula industrial town.
The Minister also said that Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas intends to encourage supply of CNG for transport sector and Piped Natural Gas(PNG) for household sector. PNGRB has envisaged a rollout plan of CGD Network Development in the country on the basis of Expressions of Interest (EOI) submitted to it as also on suo moto basis. CNG stations would be developed as a part of the CGD Network by the entity authorized by PNGRB.
Government of India has enacted the PNGRB Act, 2006. PNGRB authorizes a particular entity to operate City Gas Distribution (CGD) network in a particular Geographical Area (GA) in accordance with the provisions of the Act & the Regulations made thereunder. The authorized entity then opens CNG stations in the authorized Geographical Area based upon development of gas transportation infrastructure, availability of gas and commercial viability, keeping in mind the targets laid down by PNGRB.
But it should also be evaluated as what is the quantum on CNG is consumed & what number of vehicles is consuming CNG.
