Pradhan asked IGL to explore all options to further promote usage of CNG in all segments to curb down emissions and bring down pollution levels, such as increasing the number of CNG stations, incentivizing CNG refueling during non-peak hours and to explore various possibilities for incentivizing CNG kit conversion.
Mr. Pradhan advised his officials to take up with land owning agencies of Government of Delhi and Government of India for allotment of additional land to IGL for construction of new CNG stations. He also advised that the matter may be taken up with Ministry of Finance for rationalizing excise duty on CNG.
