Assam's Green Leap: Five New CNG Stations Inaugurated, Boosting Economy and Environment

In a landmark move towards promoting environmental sustainability and boosting local economies, Purba Bharati Gas Pvt Ltd has inaugurated five new Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) service stations across Assam. The newly launched stations, located in Ulubari, Azara, Sonapur, Kahilipara, and Lalmati, are set to play a pivotal role in advancing the state's green energy goals while providing a significant economic boost. The inauguration ceremony was attended by prominent figures from the energy sector and local government officials. Mr. Manuj Kumar Baruah, CEO of Purba Bharati Gas Pvt Ltd, highlighted the dual impact of the initiative. “The opening of these CNG stations marks a significant step in making Assam cleaner and greener.

Not only do these stations contribute to reducing air pollution by offering a cleaner alternative to conventional fuels, but they also provide a substantial boost to local employment and economic development,” Baruah said. The introduction of CNG as a fuel option is expected to significantly reduce harmful emissions compared to traditional petrol and diesel. This shift is anticipated to improve air quality and contribute to the overall environmental health of Assam.

By providing accessible CNG options, these new stations align with Assam's ongoing efforts to enhance sustainability and address climate change challenges. Beyond its environmental benefits, the establishment of these CNG stations is poised to create numerous job opportunities within the region. Roles ranging from station attendants to technical maintenance staff are expected to be filled, stimulating local economies and supporting community growth. “The economic ripple effect of these stations will be substantial,” Baruah added. “They will not only generate employment but also support related industries and services, fostering overall economic prosperity in these areas.” Strategically positioned, the new stations in Ulubari, Azara, Sonapur, Kahilipara, and Lalmati are designed to enhance fuel accessibility for residents and encourage the adoption of CNG-powered vehicles.

This increased availability is expected to boost local infrastructure and commerce, contributing to the development of surrounding communities. Purba Bharati Gas Pvt Ltd’s inauguration of the Ulubari, Azara, Sonapur, Kahilipara, and Lalmati CNG service stations marks a significant advancement in Assam's journey toward a greener, more sustainable future. With improved air quality and economic opportunities on the horizon, these stations are poised to make a lasting impact on both the environment and local communities.
