Of the total CNG stations, four are operating in Agartala and its vicinity while remaining two CNG stations are installed at Khowai and Udaipur.
Keeping in view the growing demand of clean energy, TNGCL has decided to establish three more CNG stations at Bishalgarh, Bishramganj and Udaipur.
Rush for CNG refilling will be minimized in the city once this facility is extended to the existing petrol pumps.
