Pakistan achieves autarky in producing CNG equipment: Pakwatan

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan has achieved self-sufficiency in manufacturing the equipment of international standard used in Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) sector. "Locally produced CNG equipment are now competing with international brands quality-wise as well as in performance in the market," official sources said.

In order to promote indigenous production of CNG equipment, the Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (Ogra) had given permission to eight companies for manufacturing/assembling CNG compressors, dispensers and conversion kits for vehicles subject to conformity of the laid down international technical standards. After achieving the self-sufficiency, these companies have recently started to export the locally manufactured dispensers to Argentina and Bangladesh.

Presently, Tesla Industries - Islamabad, Advanced Electronic International - Karachi, Global Pakistan - Lahore, Comcept Pvt Ltd - Islamabad, Carbon Products - Islamabad, Green Technology - Peshawar, Siddiq Sons - Rawalpindi and Landi Renzo, Pakistan are operating in the country and producing compressors, dispensers, priority panels and conversion kits.
