The JVC will create a gas distribution network in Arunachal Pradesh, which includes the establishment of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) stations and the provision of Piped Natural Gas (PNG) to domestic, commercial and industrial consumers. This initiative aims to enhance access to clean energy and contribute to the socio-economic development of the state, in alignment with the government's vision of fostering a gas-based economy.
Sanjay Khanna, CMD, Bharat Petroleum Corporation, remarked, "This Joint Venture (JV) reaffirms Bharat Petroleum Corporation’s commitment to expand clean energy access across India, with special focus on the North-East. Together with OIL, we will build a strong City Gas Distribution network to serve households, industries and transport. Arunachal Pradesh holds great potential, and through this initiative, we aim to drive sustainable growth, improve quality of life and support India’s vision of a gas-based economy.”
This company will undertake the City Gas Distribution (CGD) project in Arunachal Pradesh, awarded to the BPCL-OIL consortium during the 12th CGD bid round conducted by the Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board (PNGRB).
Speaking on the occasion, Dr Ranjit Rath, CMD, OIL, stated, "The establishment of CDG in Arunachal Pradesh is a significant step in OIL’s ongoing initiative to realise the vision of bringing clean and reliable energy to the region. OIL has a long-standing legacy of hydrocarbon production in the state and with the commissioning of Kumchai-Kusijan gas pipeline last year, we successfully reinforced our role as an anchor in advancing the Government of India's hydrocarbon vision for the North-East."
