Tenders were issued for laying lines for city distribution gas network in 12 cities of Rajasthan including Udaipur. The tender was issued by Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board (PNGRB).

It is expected that all the major oil and gas companies across the country, including RSGL from Rajasthan will participate in this tender.

The process for laying gas pipelines and providing connections to end-users may take upto 2-3 years.

The tender issued by PNGRB is for the cities of Barmer, Jaisalmer, Jodhpur, Alwar, Jaipur, Baran, Bhilwara, Bundi, Chittorgarh, Dhaulpur, Kota (part) and Udaipur.

It may be noted that PNGRB had issued tenders for Jaipur and Udaipur last year but these were later revoked.
