Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe, at a meeting with the Indian Minister for Petroleum and Gas Dharmendra Pradhan last evening, discussed at length the financial viability of replacing domestic gas cylinders with a pipeline.
In a message posted on the Prime Minister’s official Twitter account, he said; ‘The special focus of this discussion was the process followed by the world with regards to domestic gas consumption, by way of a pipeline gas supply system.’
‘It was explained that replacing the cylinder system with pipeline gas supply system would prove to be a more financially viable option for producers and consumers alike, and that it would be cheaper for consumers to obtain their domestic gas supply in such a manner.’
