Nearly one lakh houses in Indore and Ujjain districts will get piped gas supply within two years as a CNG mother station is being set up in the city, Union Oil Minister Dharmendra Pradhan said in Ujjain on Monday.

"In next two years nearly one lakh houses in Ujjain and Indore districts would get piped gas supply," Pradhan said after inaugurating the CNG Mother Station set up by GAIL and HPCL's joint venture, Avantika Gas Limited in Ujjain.

Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan and Union Minister for Steel and Mines Narendra Singh Tomar among others were present on the occasion. The 2,000-km long pipeline passes through Madhya Pradesh and the state would benefit from it, Pradhan said, adding even vehicles would get cheaper CNG. 

Chouhan said that with the availability of CNG, the prospects of setting up more fertilisers plant in the state has become brighter. He said that planning is underway to supply piped gas in Mahakaushal and other areas of the state, adding that it would also help organise the Simhast (Kumbh) Mela in 2016 in a manner free of pollution.

Tomar said on the occasion that the CNG mother station in Ujjain would ensure further development of the area. Madhya Pradesh Urban Administration and Development Minister and in-charge of Ujjain district Kailash Vijaywargiya, local MP Chintamani Malviya, School Education Minister and local MLA Paras Jain among others were present on the occasion.
