Bangkok - The government plans to sell the cheap NGV cylinders at a fair at IMPACT, Muang Thong Thani in the middle of July.
The NGV cylinders will be available at the price of 30,000 baht per cylinder including the installation cost.
1,000 cylinders will be from PTT Plc while others from manufacturers in China, India and Italy.
Unlimited bookings can be made in terms of cylinders.
PTT Plc confirmed the prices of the NGV and LPG cylinders would be maintained.
The price is currently 15,000-35,000 baht per cylinder excluding the installation cost.
PTT is considering importing the gas cylinders from China as the price is cheaper.
It was reported the NGV petrol stations would be able to serve the demand next month.
47 insurance firms have cut 10% of their premiums for cars with the installation of NGV cylinders for one year, starting from June onwards.
