Natural Gas

Over the years, Natural Gas has emerged as the 'fuel of choice' across the world. It is steadily replacing traditional fossil fuels due to its environment friendly characteristics which help in meeting the stipulated automobile emission norms. When compared with coal and oil, natural gas has a low carbon footprint due to its clean combustion features. Natural Gas has significant cost advantages too over crude oil and fuels such as Naphtha and commercial LPG. Demand for Natural Gas in India is primarily driven by the fertiliser and power sectors, which account for almost two-third of the country's gas consumption. Gas-based power plants are quicker to build and incur lesser initial capital expenditure and are better suited to meet peak power demand.
