Alternative options: 15 LPG stations to open in three months

“It is high time to clinch the market when the government finds it hard to provide CNG to stations,” says Khokhar.

ISLAMABAD: Appreciating the current situation as the best opportunity to capture market share, the LPG business forces have geared up to open LPG auto refueling stations countrywide, with the opening of the first 15 outlets of the series in three months. “It is high time to clinch the market when the government finds it hard to provide CNG to stations,” LPG distributors association chairman Irfan Khokhar said. “The same has been the line of thinking among LPG market elements and the initiative to open new outlets would help provide cheaper and environment friendly fuel to consumers.” He said around 15 refuelling stations will be functional in three months and the number was expected to go up to 50, enabling consumers to have access to environment friendly fuel for their vehicles.
