The Maharashtra Natural Gas (MNGL) has decided to open 15 new outlets in Pune and Pimpri-Chinhwad (PC) areas by the end of this year to cater to the increasing demand of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG). As of now, there are 23 CNG outlets which cater to over 30,000 three-wheelers, 14,000 four-wheelers and 517 buses of Pune Mahanagar Parivahan Mahamandal (PMPML). MNGL officials feel that these new outlets will curb the long waiting hours of vehicles at CNG stations.
