Indian officials have instigated an initiative to introduce vehicles fuelled by compressed natural gas (CNG) to the public transport system in the Kolkata Durgapur area. The programme’s first phase will request 500 state-run buses to be converted for CNG usage alongside 2,000 auto rickshaw operators in the area, accompanying 300 auto rickshaws that have already converted to CNG. If successful, officials plan to extend the programme throughout Asansol and neighbouring regions.
