(AGCL) and Oil India Ltd., has confirmed the commencement of pipeline laying works for Domestic Piped Natural Gas (DPNG) supply in four towns, Baihata, Hajo, Sualkuchi, and Rangia, from late October 2025.
The company informed the Chief Minister of Assam about the phase-wise installation of the pipeline, which marks a key step in expanding the state’s clean energy infrastructure and providing households with sustainable fuel options.
