Ramagundam to have piped natural gas. Piped natural gas to households has been a distant dream. Except for the few households in states like Maharashtra, people of other states are yet to experience that in reality. But all that is going to change for the people of Ramagundam in the state of Telangana.
IOCL Senior Manager Shyam Sunder speaking to scribes shared that they have been conducting a survey and the registration process has already started and people are enthusiastically registering their households. Registration fees is Rs 618 per household. Initially, Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL) authorities have decided to supply gas to houses in three localities of the Municipal Corporation of Ramagundam limits by completing all pending works by August.
Ramagundam Fertilizers and Chemicals Limited (RFCL) township, Gouthaminagar, and Shantinagar area of the 39th division of MCR have been selected to supply piped natural gas. Besides laying pipelines, connections have also been given to a few houses in these localities.
Shaym Sunder said "Since RFCL is a gas-based urea production unit, gas is being supplied to the plant from the Kakinada (Krishna-Godavari basin) of Andhra Pradesh. So, PNGRB has chosen Ramagundam, " PNGRB invited tenders and IOCL got the tender for erstwhile Karimnagar to supply gas to Karimnagar, Peddapalli, Jagtial and Rajanna-Sircilla districts through a pipeline,
