The Rajasthan State Gas Limited – a state government joint venture – will work to cover maximum possible households in the state under its scheme of direct-to-home piped supply of natural gas for cooking.
This target, along with expansion of supply of the Liquified Natural Gas service (LNG) and the plan of the opening of the Condensed Natural Gas (CNG) stations in Kota, Gwalior and Sheopur, will be the other thrust areas in the RSGL’s 5-year plan being formulated by the company.
