22 Sep 2025 CW Team

The city gas distribution project in Thiruvananthapuram is set to expand household and commercial connections, with 13,000 homes expected to be linked to piped natural gas (PNG) next year.

THINK Gas, the implementing agency, has already laid 591 km of pipeline with an investment of Rs 700 crore, covering major localities across the capital and neighbouring constituencies. Officials said 70–80 per cent of work is complete on several stretches.

The project targets 16,730 household connections in Thiruvananthapuram by 2028, in addition to 23,237 in Alappuzha and 33 commercial connections.

To support mobility, THINK Gas has set up 22 CNG stations in Thiruvananthapuram, 15 in Alappuzha and nine in Kollam. The shift from LPG to PNG among households and businesses signals rising demand for cleaner, more convenient energy solutions.
