Nashik authorities are set to expand the city's CNG infrastructure in the lead-up to the Simhastha Kumbh Mela, with 121 new pumps planned for installation. The current shortage of fuel has led to lengthy queues for motorists, prompting the administration to take swift action. Presently, there are 23 operational CNG pumps in the district, comprising eight online pumps linked to the main pipeline and 15 independent offline pumps.
This significant increase in CNG stations is anticipated to alleviate congestion and shorten waiting times for motorists. Maharashtra Natural Gas Limited (MNGL) has issued tenders for various aspects of CNG station development within Nashik. The ultimate goal is to guarantee a consistent fuel supply amidst the anticipated large influx of pilgrims and tourists during the Kumbh Mela.
Industries Minister Uday Samant has directed the Nashik Municipal Corporation (NMC) and District Planning Committee (DPC) to finalize the Satpur and Ambad MIDC roads. District Supply Officer Ramesh Gaikwad reported that fuel supply companies are responding favorably to these directives from the Supply Department. The administration's focus on enhancing CNG facilities is expected to offer relief to citizens during this major religious event.
