UGEL Expands LNG Refueling Network Across India
Ultra Gas & Energy (UGEL), a company owned by Essar, is building more LNG refueling stations in India.
They plan to spend ₹900 crore to open a total of 100 stations.
Right now, they have 6 stations in important freight locations.
These stations will let trucks use cleaner-burning LNG fuel instead of diesel.
Each station can prevent a lot of carbon dioxide from going into the air.
UGEL wants to make it easier for trucks to use cleaner fuels and help the environment.
UGEL plans to expand its LNG retail outlets to 100 across India.
The company will invest ₹900 crore in the expansion.
UGEL is the largest private operator of LNG refueling outlets.
Currently, there are six operational stations in major freight corridors.
Each station is designed to support LNG-powered trucks and reduce emissions.
