With more than 100 city gas (CNG) projects in pipe-line, through which, GAILTEL can explore the synergy of reaching individual homes on fiber. Piped Gas will roll-out in major cities and OFC (micro OFC) can be laid along with gas pipelines. This also throws a great potential to cross sell the city OFC network to other Telecom operators.
