Amaravati To Be First Capital City With Piped Gas Supply

Amaravati: Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) officials have proposed Amaravati as the country’s first capital city to use piped gas throughout.

A team led by A Raman Kumar, a member of the Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board (PNGRB), met the State's Chief Secretary Nirabh Kumar Prasad here on Tuesday to discuss the gas pipeline projects and related developments.

IOC officials proposed to make Amaravati the first fully piped gas capital city in the country. They drew a comparison to the Gujarat International Finance Tec-City (GIFT) in Gandhinagar, where everything, including gas, electricity, and telecom cables, is underground. In GIFT City, piped gas is being supplied to residences, business complexes, and institutions. Similarly, they proposed to supply piped gas to the Amaravati capital city, making it the first piped gas capital in India.
