its little tricky to answer and bit brainy to understand -
a house gas expense during summer is Rs. 500 and in winters 1200 ~ 2000
while One CNG fill in a 55 kg cylinder is 500+ at current price and it runs only 100kms
- now -
a toyota hiace with 4 CNG cylinders top up in Rs. 3000 avrg. - runs for 275 kms & fills approx 3 times per 12 hour shift - means Rs. 9000.00 per 12 hours.
in ideal condition of 24/7 per 30 days gas that hiace alone consume Rs. 270,000 worth gas providing job to only 6 people ( 3 drivers & 3 helpers) per month.
a cottage industry with a 18000 btu boiler consumes approx Rs. 2975 gas per 24 hours running 3 shifts 8 hours each, 12 people per shift means 36 individuals making money.
2975 x 30 = Rs. 90,000 - 100,000 gas expense to run a boiler now do the maths please -
6 people employed with transport Hi-ace at gas fuel cost of Rs. 270,000 per month
36 people employed at fuel cost of Rs. 90,000 per months in an industry -
against fuel expense of 270,000 6 people feeding their families - against 90,000 36 people are supporting their families plus industry paying multiple taxes to exchequer
so which sector shall get gas - transport or industry.??
