Titas Gas
Titas Gas Transmission and Distribution Company Limited (TGTDCL) is the largest natural gas distribution company in Bangladesh. It is responsible for supplying natural gas to a significant portion of the country, primarily in the Dhaka and surrounding areas.
Titas Gas was established in 1964 and initially focused on importing natural gas. Over time, its role evolved to encompass distribution from domestic sources. The company plays a vital role in Bangladesh's energy sector, serving industrial, commercial, residential, and power generation customers.
TGTDCL is a public limited company, with Petrobangla (Bangladesh Oil, Gas & Mineral Corporation) being the major shareholder. Its operations include the transmission and distribution of natural gas through a vast network of pipelines.
The company faces challenges related to gas leakage, illegal connections, and aging infrastructure, which impact its efficiency and reliability. Titas Gas continually works towards improving its service delivery, expanding its network, and combating illegal activities to ensure a stable gas supply for its consumers. The company is named after the Titas River, a major river in Bangladesh.
