Private companies are angling to benefit from growing use of cooking gas in the absence of investments by the State. They have already set up import and storage facilities at the coast.

The latest firm is Mansa East Africa, which is seeking the National Environmental Management Authority's (NEMA) nod to construct 10,000 tonnes of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) handling facility.
