AGARTALA, November 27 (TIWN): After prolonged many days of facing problem due to disruption in the bottling of gas, finally Indian Oil Corporation is planning for setting up new gas bottling plant in the state.

Reportedly, Indian Oil Corporation is going to establish a mega gas bottling plant at Budhjungnagar Industrial Estate in Jirania subdivision.

It seems the problem is likely to end with the establishment of the bottling plant at Budhjungnagar.

According to the plan, the IOC wants to establish the mega gas bottling plant by next two years. If the plant is operational, it will produce 200 trucks LPG per day.

However, once the new gas bottling plant is operational, it will be able to supply refilled LPG cylinder to outside the state also, said sources.

Before Durga puja, the IOC had supplied refilled LPG cylinders from its Silchar plant and now the supply has been stopped leading to reduction in cylinders.

Reportedly, till day with a total number of around 3.24 lakh, the state has 46 LPG outlets.

Although Bishalgarh gas bottling plant has been refilling 20/22 trucks LPG cylinders per day against its installed capacity of 18 bullets, still it fails to meet the need of the people.

However, to meet the need of the State’s public of 12 LPG cylinder a boost is required which can be fulfilled after the establishment of the new gas bottling plant.

Besides, IOC is planning to install an oil depot at Shekerkut. On the other hand, the State Government has demanded to IOC to provide 24 wagons.
