Key facts
- India's LNG distribution industry is requesting government support for LNG infrastructure.
- LNG is currently 42% cheaper than diesel for the freight industry in India.
- Industry executives note that infrastructure availability, not economics, has historically constrained LNG adoption.
- India currently has government support for ethanol infrastructure, but not for LNG.
Rising diesel costs are impacting India's freight industry, prompting a push for alternative fuels like Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG). While LNG offers significant cost savings, its widespread adoption has been hampered by a lack of supporting infrastructure. The industry is seeking government backing to overcome this hurdle and capitalize on the economic advantages of LNG.
