The Project presentation was followed by an interactive Q&A session which saw a good response from various members querying for wide range of questions.

On request from member Industries, locations with distance from the grid/spur line was shown live with the help of KMZ file during the presentation that gave enough clarity to the member industries. Industry member appreciated the online measurement and glad to know the instant response

The delegates appreciated the proactive action taken by GITL for organizing customer awareness meet at pre construction stage of project. Many delegates were keen to switch over to natural gas in order to be more competitive through efficiency improvement and product quality enhancement. MD -TRIFAC praised the initiative taken by GITL and advised the Industry delegates to leverage the opportunity to ensure sustainable industrial growth in the state.

Government authorities, JV partners and industry delegates appreciated the presentation delivered by Sh. N. Bose Babu (Director & Head projects-GITL) on MBBVPL project and benefits of natural gas.
