Mangaluru: GAIL Gas Ltd has commenced registration process for domestic PNG connections in the city and has introduced three pocket-friendly payment options.

The company, which has been authorised to implement City Gas Distribution (CGD) project in Dakshina Kannada district, targets to reach 3.5 lakh households under the project.

Addressing reporters here, on Friday, Vilin Zunke, Deputy General Manager (CGD – Projects) and officer-in-charge said that the pipeline for the PNG will be complete by March 2020. “PNG connections will be made available to residents of Kadri, Bejai, Attavar, Falnir in the first phase. All other areas of the city will be covered in the later phases,” he said.

Providing information on the payment options, he said that there will be no registration fee for domestic customers, who want to avail PNG directly to their homes. However, Rs 500 refundable security deposit against the gas connection will be charged. People can also avail the facility on daily rental, he said.
