Essar’s Ultra Gas & Energy Ltd (UGEL) plans to invest Rs. 900 crore to expand its LNG (liquefied natural gas) network for freight carriers across India, as per the recent update by the company. UGEL currently operates six LNG refuelling stations in Rajasthan, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Karnataka, and Tamil Nadu, and aims to scale up its network to 100 outlets nationwide, making clean fuel more accessible along key freight corridors.
Each LNG station is designed with a capacity of 50 tonnes, capable of refuelling up to 600 trucks per month. All outlets (Including the outlets to be built) are expected to reduce over one million tonnes of CO₂ emissions annually, driving India’s shift from diesel to cleaner alternatives. Work is underway to build new outlets in Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Haryana, Punjab, Karnataka, Odisha, Chhattisgarh, and Jharkhand.
To ensure smooth operations and consistent fuel availability, UGEL has partnered with IOCL, GAIL, HPCL, and other leading LNG suppliers. These partnerships provide access to all major LNG terminals across India, supporting uninterrupted supply and scalability.
Each UGEL outlet is also future-ready, equipped with the infrastructure to support EV charging, aligning with the company’s long-term plan to build multi-fuel, low-emission mobility solutions for the logistics sector.
UGEL’s expansion represents more than just network growth—it’s a strategic step toward transforming India’s freight ecosystem. By integrating LNG and EV-ready infrastructure, UGEL is setting a practical blueprint for sustainable, cost-efficient transport that supports both industry needs and environmental goals.
