Updated: 23/Aug/2025

Dear South City Residents,

GAIL Gas in South City: The long 7-8 years wait is over.

The piped natural gas by GAIL is finally coming in after a long wait of 7-8 years by the South City residents. This GAIL Gas project was earlier initiated by Sugruha in 2017-18 which had subsequently hit some roadblocks.

Our heartfelt thanks to:

Shri Tejasvi Surya (Member of Parliament)
Dr C. N. Manjunath, (Member of Parliament)
Shri M. Krishnappa (MLA)
Shri M. Satish Reddy (MLA) and
Shri M Jayaram (ex Corporator for our area)

for their support for restarting the GAIL Gas project in South City. We, also, were told by reliable sources that Shri Tejasvi Surya took special interest and intervened a couple of times as part of supporting the J.P.Nagar wards.

Dr C.N. Manjunath and Shri M. Krishnappa unblocked and expedited work for our area, thereby working cohesively towards accelerating GAIL Gas connectivity to South City

The then Sugruha Board President, Shri V Venugopalan and his team, who, over the past 4-5 months, reached out to our MPs, MLAs, ex-Corporators, and several GAIL officials for restarting the PNG (piped natural gas) project in our homes in South City.

It was an arduous task of connecting, coordinating, and getting various clearances of a project long considered “dead”. Over this period, possible solutions were worked out to connect to the GAIL Gas grid, and finally, on 05 June 2025, the GAIL Gas project commenced after a Pooja near Gate 2 of South City; Registration and Q&A sessions were organized by Sugruha, and one can see the pipe laying machine working actively on the South City Road. Special thanks to Sugruha team led by the President.

The South City apartment PNG project will be done in phases and is expected to be completed in 8-10 months’ time. While SCMC is already coordinating with GAIL contractors in laying the gas pipeline and other related activities, we request the residents to be patient and cooperative these few months.

Please patiently wait for clarifications GAIL Gas Limited, and this process as such is owned by GAIL Gas Limited and we are only enabling the process.

Please feel free to join the South City GAIL Gas Updates Whatsapp Group to stay updated on GAIL GAS proceeds, e.g If the club house seating has reached capacity, if GAIL members have reached etc) - these will be quick updates (no forwards please)

Background:

Way back in 2018, Pavithran (Sugruha board member) had received information from his friend in MECON who was a consultant for GAIL Gas that GAIL is supplying piped natural gas to apartment complexes. This project was initiated with full force, and homes were fitted with meters etc. However, due to technical issues and COVID hitting us, this progress was halted.
