Varanasi: Reinforcing its commitment to sustainable urban growth and clean energy access, GAIL (India) Limited has achieved a major milestone in the holy city of Varanasi. The PSU has successfully connected the 100th Commercial PNG (Piped Natural Gas) consumer, marking a century of cleaner fuel empowerment for local businesses.

These milestones come at a time when the city is undergoing rapid urban transformation, and access to green energy has become integral to its future. GAIL’s initiatives offer long-term environmental and economic benefits, reaffirming its role as a key enabler of sustainable development in urban India.
