There is still a long way to go, I mean, consumption has to be more than what it is now, and the capacity of supply also needs to go up more. So I wont really go so far as calling this project a big deal.
See i know this will be a new thing, but the problem is that there is already a big problem regarding the laying of all the necessary pipelines for this project. There are some oppositions against this project and so far it has been able to achieve just 10% of its capacity.
I think its a welcome new change, and it is bound to affect the real estate market in Kochi, which is seeing some downsides lately. It is innovative and people these days are looking to switch over to more natural means of sustenance to have a better impact on the environment.
From what I’ve heard, the state government is just waiting for the centre’s approval to start this whole project. It will be quite a big change. Once it is approved, we will all get piped natural gas in our households, instead of the cooking gas that we currently use.
