AAA The Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL) plans to open 15 retail outlets supplying compressed natural gas (CNG) in Coimbatore district in this financial year, out of which two were opened recently.
IOCL sources said on Thursday that the two retail outlets were opened at Gandhi Managar and Sulur on April 19 to supply CNG for automobiles. Being a greener and more efficient alternative to existing vehicle fuels, the public will now have an option of using CNG for their vehicles as it costs around ₹ 70 per kg, for which it gives a mileage of around 25 km. These CNG retail outlets will refill fuel for those vehicles powered by CNG as well as the vehicles that run on petrol which are retrofitted with a CNG kit, the sources said.
