Mahanagar Gas Limited and Baidyanath LNG signed an MoU recently to enable the development of LNG station network across various strategic locations. This is expected to fast-track the development of the supply side ecosystem, aiding long haul transport segment to switch to cleaner fuel. LNG is a cleaner fuel, is stored at low pressure, has mileage advantage as compared to diesel and can help cover long distances in a single fill. Commenting on the association, Ashu Shinghal, Managing Director, Mahanagar Gas Ltd said, “ With such infrastructure, we are trying to strengthen one side of the ecosystem, which with roll out of OEM fitted LNG variants gets further strengthened, giving more reasons for customers to switch to greener alternatives.”

Vaddadi Subbarao, CEO BLNG, said, “This agreement provides us with an added impetus in our mission to create a wide network of these LNG stations across Maharashtra. We look forward to enabling India's mission of decarbonizing heavy trucking by ensuring uninterrupted LNG supply on key trucking routes. Given the higher order of magnitude of a range of toxic emissions from heavy trucking, it will be crucial for this association to focus on reducing emissions from this aspect of their business operations.”
