LG Ladakh Saxena slashes 16 per cent VAT on CNG and PNG to save environment. In a post on X, LG Ladakh said, “
Glad to share that the UT of Ladakh has significantly reduced VAT on Natural Gas (CNG & PNG) from 21% to just 5%, a major step towards promoting affordable clean energy and improving the ease of living for the people of Ladakh. This will majorly boost the Centre’s larger plan of rolling out the City Gas Distribution (CGD) network to provide affordable piped household gas across Ladakh. This would also offset the high energy transportation costs caused by the difficult terrains and extreme climate in the UT, besides encouraging consumers for wider adoption of cleaner fuels. This brings Ladakh at par with states like Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka, advancing Hon’ble PM Shri @narendramodi Ji’s broader vision for a sustainable and carbon-neutral future. The UT Administration remains fully committed to building a connected, competitive, clean, and sustainable Ladakh, ensuring essential energy is affordable and accessible for all.”
