This mother station was feeding to 5 daughter stations inDelhi. 3 Nos. online stations were added making total 9 Nos. of CNGstations during the pilot phase of the project. The station design andsafety norms followed were as per New Zealand standards.4. Formation of IGL:• Supreme Court gave directive to GAIL in July’1998 to expand theCNG infrastructure and to increase the number of CNG stationsfrom 9 to 80 by March 31, 2000 in Delhi. It also directed Delhi Govt.to convert entire city bus fleet, autos & taxies from liquid fuel toCNG/Clean Fuel.• Subsequently in Dec.1998 Indraprastha Gas Limited (IGL) wasincorporated as a joint venture company of GAIL, BPCL & Govt. ofNCT of Delhi to implement the orders of Hon’ble Supreme Court withregard to the CNG expansion program in Delhi.• Issues of land allotment: Govt. of NCT of Delhi holding 5% equity inIGL helped IGL in getting the allotment of lands, permissions forlaying pipelines and in getting electricity connections.• Uncertainty on vehicles conversion: While IGL was formed to install80 CNG stations there was an apprehension whether the DTC buseswould be available for CNG usage. Besides all the autorikshaws,taxis and private buses were also to be converted for CNG use.Tremendous efforts were required to convince DTC, Bus Operators4
and Delhi Administration for the conversion of vehicles to CNG insuch a short time. Today there are more than 87,000 vehicles in theNCT of Delhi, which are running on CNG.5. Type of CNG Stations:Four types of CNG stations have been developed in Delhi. These are asfollows:Mother Station: Mother stations are connected to the pipeline and havehigh compression capacity. These stations supply CNG to both vehiclesand daughter stations (through mobile cascades). Typically they have thefacility of filling all types of vehicles – buses/autos/cars. The Mother stationrequires heavy investment towards compressor, dispensers, cascades,pipelines, tubing etc.TYPICAL CNG MOTHER STATIONOnline Station: CNG vehicle storage cylinders need to be filled at apressure of 200 bars. “On line Stations” are equipped with a compressorof relatively small capacity, which compresses low pressure pipeline gasto the pressure of 250 bar for dispensing CNG to the vehicle cylinder. Theinvestment in an online station is midway between daughter station andmother station.5
