The Kolkata chapter of the National Restaurant Association of India (NRAI) is exploring the use of piped natural gas (PNG) as a viable alternative to LPG for restaurants. This discussion, involving Bengal Gas Company Ltd (BGCL), comes amid disruptions in LPG supply affecting eateries.
Key stakeholders, including NRAI representatives and BGCL officials like CEO Anupam Mukhopadhyay, recently conducted meetings to assess the potential of broadening PNG infrastructure for the restaurant sector. The exploration focuses on easing the current issues with LPG by seeking more consistent and reliable fuel solutions.
