With AG&P Pratham fast-tracking its project in Anantapur and Kadapa cities, the 24X7 piped compressed natural gas(CNG) supply for cooking and domestic use will be a reality by August in select towns/cities of Rayalaseema and that, at a much cheaper price compared to the liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) cylinders.
The company that began its operations in June last year in the region is implementing a ₹400-crore project to provide the CNG supply to industries, automobiles, bulk users like hotels and domestic connections in erstwhile undivided Nellore, Chittoor, Kadapa and Anantapur.
AG&P Pratham assistant vice-president G.A. Venkatesh told The Hindu that the Singapore-headquartered company has a presence in 12 geographical locations/regions in the country beginning with Jodhpur in Rajasthan to several parts of Karnataka.
