The approved project aims to increase availability, and improve accessibility, of natural gas for domestic, transport, commercial and industrial users in nine geographical areas (GA), across the states of Andhra Pradesh (with 2 GAs), Karnataka (with 5 GAs), Kerala and Tamil Nadu (with 1 GA each), thereby reducing consumption of more polluting fossil fuels and alternative petroleum products.
