Ultra Gas & Energy Ltd (UGEL), an Essar venture, on Monday said that it has become India’s largest private operator and highest dispensing LNG refuelling outlets (RO), with six stations operational across major freight corridors.
These ROs are located in Bhilwara (Rajasthan), Anand (Gujarat), Chakan-Pune (Maharashtra), Jalna (Maharashtra), Toranagallu (Karnataka), and Vallam (Tamil Nadu), enabling efficient access to cleaner fuel across key industrial and logistics hubs, the company said in a statement.
“Our retail outlets are built to do more than just dispense fuel, they are catalysts for a cleaner, smarter logistics future,” said Maqsood Shaikh, Managing Director & CEO, Ultra Gas & Energy Ltd.
The clean-tech firm is developing India’s largest LNG fuelling network, driving the transition toward sustainable and low-emission transportation.
The Mumbai-based company aims to scale its network to 100 LNG retail outlets across India, supported by a planned investment of ₹900 crore.
“Backed by robust infrastructure and intelligent energy solutions, we are proud to lead India’s transition toward greener fuels and sustainable mobility. At UGEL, our vision is firmly rooted in innovation, efficiency, and environmental responsibility,” Shaikh added.
Expansion is already in progress in key states including Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Haryana, Punjab, Karnataka, Odisha, Chhattisgarh, and Jharkhand to serve high-density logistics zones, these stations are accelerating the shift from diesel to LNG – a cleaner and more efficient fuel for long-haul trucking.
Each station has a scalable capacity of 50 tonnes, capable of refuelling up to 600 LNG trucks per month. Each station can reduce up to 66,000 tonnes of CO₂ emissions annually, collectively reducing 1 million tonnes of CO₂.
