With the deadline just two weeks away, more than half of the city’s bakeries are yet to transition to clean fuel, raising serious concerns about compliance and pollution control. Authorities had mandated a shift from traditional polluting fuels like coal and wood to cleaner alternatives such as piped natural gas (PNG) or electricity. However, industry insiders cite high conversion costs, lack of infrastructure, and delays in approvals as reasons for the sluggish shift. The environment department has warned of strict action, including closure notices, if non-compliant bakeries fail to switch before the deadline.
