据TNN 9月14日那格浦尔报道，印度联合部长Nitin Gadkari周五为印度中部那格浦尔市首个LNG和压缩天然气（CNG）母站揭幕。这一举措是推广绿色交通出行成果的一部分，旨在治理污染。
由Rawmatt建设的站点已在内环附近的Kalamna落成。市长Nanda Jichkar和那格浦尔市市政公司（NMC）运输委员会主席Bunty Kukde也出席了会议。
在接受媒体采访时，Gadkari表示，像那格浦尔这样的发展中城市，CNG作为传统燃料的替代品，其使用将在控制不断上升的污染程度方面发挥重要作用。
随着CNG站的建成，那格浦尔市政公司（NMC）将从下周起投营7辆由柴油转换为CNG标准的城市公交(Aapli Bus)。目前正在进行的工作是将剩余柴油运营标准的公交改装为CNG。
Gadkari进一步表示，CNG与传统石油产品相比有许多优势，对于车辆来说它是一种明智与实惠的选择。他说:“人们将节省燃料，降低排放水平，延长车辆寿命。”
部长表示，CNG比柴油等传统产品节省了50%的费用，并解释了CNG和LNG是如何比柴油便宜的。他说：“1升柴油每3公里的价格是69卢比，而1公斤CNG和LNG每4公里的价格分别为58卢比和46卢比。”
根据Gadkari的说法，那格浦尔市政公司(NMC)将柴油公交车改为CNG的举措将使其每年的开支减少6亿多卢比。他说：“除了Rawmatt，该市的一家酒厂正在生产18吨的CNG。该地区还会有更多的CNG单位出现。”
那格浦尔市政公司(NMC)还将利用安装在Bhandewadi污水处理厂的5个生物沼气池生产40-50吨生物CNG。
CNG母站将向即将在Wardha路、Umred路、Wadi等不同地点设立的所有天然气站供应CNG。
Gadkari说，5家CNG工厂也将进入该地区，并声称大约125个建设生物CNG工厂的项目也即将启动。这些项目将增加农民的收益。

Central India’s first CNG, LNG mother station opened in Nagpur
Union minister Nitin Gadkari inaugurated the first liquefied natural gas (LNG) and compressed natural gas (CNG) mother station of Central India in the city on Friday. The initiative is a part of efforts to promote green vehicles with an aim to check pollution.
The station set up by Rawmatt has come up in Kalamna off the Inner Ring Road. Mayor Nanda Jichkar and Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) transport committee chairman Bunty Kukde were among those present on the occasion.
Talking to the media, Gadkari said the use of CNG as an alternative to conventional fuel will play an important role in controlling rising pollution levels in a developing city like Nagpur.
With the setting up of the CNG station, the NMC from next week is all set to operate seven of its standard city buses (Aapli Bus) converted to CNG from diesel. The work for conversion of remaining diesel operated standard buses to CNG is under way.
Gadkari further said that CNG has many advantages over conventional petroleum products as it is a smart and affordable choice for vehicles. “People will save money on fuel, reduce emission levels and extend life of their vehicles,” he said.
CNG amounts to 50% savings over conventional products such as diesel fuel, the minister said and explained how both CNG and LNG are cheaper than diesel. “A litre of diesel costs Rs69 per 3km, while a kilo of CNG and LNG cost Rs58 and 46 per 4km,” he said.
According to Gadkari, NMC's move to convert diesel buses into CNG will bring down its expenses by over Rs60 crore per annum. “Apart from Rawmatt, a distillery unit in the region is manufacturing 18 tonne CNG. Many more CNG units will come up in the region,” he said.
The NMC will also produce 40-50 tonne bio-CNG from five biodigesters installed at the Bhandewadi sewage treatment plant.
The CNG mother station will supply CNG to all stations that will be set up shortly at different localities on Wardha road, Umred road, Wadi etc.
Gadkari said that five plants of CNG were also coming in the region, and claimed that around 125 projects for setting up bio-CNG plants are also coming up. These projects will increase farmers’ profit, he said.
