Patna is set to witness a significant expansion of its CNG (Compressed Natural Gas) network. According to recent reports, 14 new CNG stations will be operational by the end of the year. This development marks the largest expansion of the CNG infrastructure in Patna to date.
## A Step Towards Cleaner Fuel
This expansion aligns with a broader global movement towards cleaner energy sources. CNG, as an alternative fuel, has been utilized since the early 20th century, with countries like Italy adopting it in the 1930s. Patna’s current efforts reflect a worldwide trend aimed at reducing reliance on traditional fuels.
## Government Initiatives Fueling Growth
The expansion in Patna is directly linked to the Indian government’s active promotion of CNG adoption. Initiatives such as the City Gas Distribution (CGD) network expansion project play a crucial role. These efforts are part of a national strategy to decrease import dependence and improve air quality. The increase in CNG stations will provide greater access to cleaner fuel options for vehicles, contributing to a reduction in pollution.
The addition of these 14 stations will significantly increase the availability of CNG throughout Patna. This will encourage more vehicle owners to switch to CNG, further supporting the city’s efforts to create a more sustainable environment.
