Khilpara CNG Station Boosts Clean Energy Access
The Chief Minister said the inauguration of the Khilpara CNG station shows the government’s commitment to promoting eco-friendly energy. CNG helps reduce harmful emissions and supports the state’s efforts to maintain a cleaner environment. As vehicle numbers grow, cleaner fuel options become even more important for public health and environmental stability.
Saha stated that more CNG stations will come up across Tripura in the coming months. The goal is to create a strong network so that all districts receive equal access to cleaner fuel. This expansion will encourage more vehicle owners to shift from petrol and diesel to CNG. Many already prefer CNG because it is affordable and safer for the environment.
He added that the government wants to make clean fuel available not only in towns but also in rural pockets. Wider access will directly benefit students, workers and families who travel daily. A smooth supply of CNG supports both convenience and long-term sustainability.
New Station to Support Local Transport and Daily Commuters
Residents of Udaipur often faced trouble due to limited access to CNG. Many had to travel far to refill their vehicles, which increased travel costs. With the new Khilpara CNG station, these issues will now reduce. Local commuters will have a nearby, dependable option for their fuel needs.
Saha pointed out that auto-rickshaw drivers and small transporters will benefit the most. These groups depend heavily on affordable fuel to run their services. Easy access to CNG will help them manage expenses better and serve passengers without interruption.
He also mentioned that the station has been built to handle increasing demand in the coming years. As more people switch to CNG vehicles, the facility will continue to meet local requirements. This planning ensures that the energy supply remains stable, even during peak hours.
Khilpara CNG Station Strengthens Tripura’s Energy Vision
The new station fits into Tripura’s larger plan to modernise its energy infrastructure. Saha said that the government aims to build an energy system that supports both sustainability and economic development. Cleaner fuel options reduce pollution and create healthier living conditions. At the same time, they support growth in the transport and business sectors.
He also said that similar projects will arrive in phases across the state. Each new station strengthens Tripura’s energy network and boosts confidence among residents. Better fuel access also attracts investment and creates new job opportunities.
The inauguration of the Khilpara CNG station shows the state’s commitment to progress and sustainability. Saha encouraged citizens to adopt cleaner fuel options and support Tripura’s journey toward a greener future. With steady expansion and clear goals, the state is moving toward an energy system that is cleaner, more accessible and better suited for long-term growth.
