IGL has plans to start the supply of PNG to households in Dharuhera and Bawal towns in a year’s time and aims to provide 5,000 piped gas connections to domestic kitchens in three years. The cost of the project is expected to be around Rs 1.5 billion. In the first year, 40-50 km of gas pipeline network is expected to be laid in the district.
