In an effort to promote pollution free environment, the West Bengal government is on the look out for enough supply of compressed natural gas(CNG) which can help power the vehicles on greener fuel.
The government is even negotioting with firms like Reliance Industries Ltd and HP for the supply of the fuel which can reduce pollution and create a healthy environment.
"Gas is very important for West Bengal since unless we get enough supply we cannot convert our vehicles to CNG. Talks with Mukhesh Ambani were very positive," said West Bengal's Industry Minister Nirupam Sen.
RIL has recently discovered new natural gas reserves in Krishna Godavari basin off the Andhra coast and hopes to connect it via a gas pipeline to West Bengal in three years time in order to supply enough CNG.
