In a notable development, AG&P Pratham has successfully inaugurated its decompression unit (DCU) at Maruthi Nagar, Anantpur in Andhra Pradesh.
The DCU is likely to ramp up the supply of piped natural gas (PNG) to remote locations, particularly, Maruthi Nagar, Sri Nagar Colony, Ramnagar and Kovur Nagar. Moreover, the connected grid lines extend the supply of natural gas to around 7,000 domestic households and 100 commercial establishments across these areas.
AG&P Pratham holds 25-year exclusive rights from the Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board (PNGRB) to develop city gas distribution (CGD) infrastructure and supply gas in more than 278,000 square km area across Rajasthan, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu. This involves setting up more than 1,500 compressed natural gas (CNG) stations and 17,000 inch-km of pipelines.
