In a statement that encapsulates the spirit and determination of the AGCL team, Managing Director Gokul Chandra Swargiary said, “We shall vigorously climb every barrier and continue to contribute towards the industrial growth of our land.” This sentiment not only reflects the company’s commitment to overcoming obstacles but also its pledge to fostering economic development in Assam.

The Tingrai Tea Gas Grid is more than just a pipeline; it symbolizes a leap forward in industrial infrastructure, promising a sustainable and reliable energy source for one of the region’s most vital industries – tea production. The project stands to elevate the operational capacity of tea gardens, enhancing their competitive edge in both domestic and international markets.

The completion of this project is a testament to AGCL’s drive for excellence and innovation. It also exemplifies the potential of public sector enterprises to spearhead developmental initiatives that have far-reaching implications for society and the economy.

As the AGCL team prepares to inaugurate the pipeline, the tea garden community and stakeholders across Assam await the positive ripple effects of this project. The Tingrai Tea Gas Grid is a beacon of progress, poised to energize not just the tea gardens but the very essence of industrial growth in Assam.

The ‘Tingrai Tea Gas Grid and Tingrai Tea Gas Grid-Panitola Extension Gas Supply Project’ is a significant stride towards fulfilling the energy needs of the tea industry in Assam.

The vision and resilience of AGCL, coupled with the unwavering support of its engineering team, have brought this dream to fruition. As the pipelines begin to flow with natural gas, they carry with them the promise of a brighter, more prosperous future for the tea gardens of Assam.
