GAIL and CONCOR ink MoU to assess LNG as a cleaner, cost-effective fuel for India’s logistics sector.
In a major green logistics push, GAIL (India) Limited and Container Corporation of India (CONCOR) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to explore the use of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) as an alternative fuel in the logistics sector.
This collaboration aims to harness LNG’s advantages as a cleaner, more cost-effective substitute for diesel, potentially reducing emissions and operational costs. GAIL, India’s top natural gas provider with over 54% gas trading and 66% gas transportation market share, holds a strong LNG portfolio and operates a major gas-based petrochemical complex in Uttar Pradesh.
CONCOR, a leader in inland container transport by rail, also manages ports, air cargo complexes, and cold chains. The agreement will assess the feasibility of LNG adoption for CONCOR’s logistics fleet, marking a significant step toward greener operations.
