Kolkata’s restaurant industry is evaluating a strategic shift toward piped natural gas (PNG) as persistent disruptions in commercial LPG supply strain daily operations. Industry representatives have initiated discussions with Bengal Gas Company Ltd to assess infrastructure readiness and rollout feasibility. The move reflects a broader effort to secure stable, cost-efficient energy alternatives while reducing dependence on cylinder-based fuel systems. With delays in LPG refills affecting service continuity, PNG is emerging as a viable long-term solution.
