Bengal Gas Company Limited (BGCL), a joint venture between GAIL (India) Limited and the Greater Calcutta Gas Supply Corporation, is likelyto commence supply of piped natural gas (PNG) in the Kolkata Metropolitan Development Authority (KMDA) area by November.
BGCL has laid about 22 km of medium density polyethylene (MDPE) pipeline around Kalyani Central Park and plans to expand the network to serve 10,000 households. Additionally, Durgapur-Gayeshpur pipeline has been extended to Kalyani and would further connect Baruipur via Barrackpore, Airport, and Chingrighata to cater to Kolkata and nearby districts.
