Jalalabad Gas operates under the Ministry of Power, Energy and Mineral Resources and Petrobangla.
On the merger of the two projects in 1977, formal gas distribution in Sylhet town started in 1978.
To meet the growing demand, Jalalabad Gas Transmission and Distribution System Limited was formed on December 1, 1986 under the Company Act with an authorized capital of Tk.150 crores.
The objective was to help improve the socio-economic condition of the people of Sylhet region.
The Company has been playing an important role since its inception in reducing dependency on imported fuel, saving of foreign currency and maintenance of ecological balance through construction of pipeline, installation and maintenance of related facilities to ensure uninterrupted transmission and distribution of gas throughout the franchise area.
