THINK Gas Expands LNG Footprint with strategic launch of 6 New Dispensing St ations accelerating India’s green transition
Chennai, 19th May 2025: THINK Gas, In dia’s leading City Gas Distribution (CGD ) company, is accelerating country’s tran sition towards low-emission transport f or long-haul heavy duty truck mobility with the strategic rollout of 3 (three) ne w LNG filling hubs/points after the succ essful operation of its flagship LNG stati on at Bagroda, Bhopal. As a merged CG D entity of AG&P Pratham and THINK G as, now operating under the THINK Gas brand, the 3 new LNG fuelling hubs/poin nts, strategically located to serve long-h aul mobility, will be in Anantapur, Nellor re (in Andhra Pradesh), and Vallam (in Ta mil Nadu’s Kanchipuram District), and a re expected to be operational by Septe mber’25.
In addition, 3 more LNG fuelling hubs/p oints will become operational by Decem ber 2025, reinforcing the company’s foc us on long-haul clean mobility infrastruc ture.” THINK Gas is integrating the new LNG hubs with its well-established LCN G Stations (Liquefied to Compressed N atural Gas), allowing for seamless distri bution, enhanced infrastructure utilisati on, and efficient service delivery to fleet operators and logistics providers.
“India is entering a new era of energy tr ansformation, and at THINK Gas, we are proud to be at the forefront of that jour ney” said Mr. Abhilesh Gupta, Managing Director and CEO, THINK Gas. “The add ition of 6 (six) new LNG filling hub s/poin ts at our existing LCNG Stations marks a major milestone in our mission to accele rate the adoption of low-emission fuels i n the heavy commercial vehicle segmen nt and also drives economic growth by p roviding fleet operators with cost-effect ive fuel”
“We currently operate 18 LCNG station s across our authorised geographical are as. These stations are now being equipp ed with LNG dispensing capabilities to s upport the growing demand for long-h aul, low-emission transport solutions.” T he timing couldn’t be more critical. India is aiming to boost Natural Gas’s share in its energy mix from ~6% to 15% by 2030 in line with the Hon’ Prime Minister of I ndia’s vision, and scalable LNG infrastru cture will be the bedrock of that transiti on. With supportive government policie s, increasing OEM participation, and mo unting pressure on the logistics sector t o decarbonize, fleet operators are rapidl y transitioning from diesel to LNG, draw n by its cleaner emissions profile and co mpelling operating economics.”
THINK Gas operates India’s largest LNG carrier fleet, comprising 61 specialized t ransport trucks that ensure a reliable, n ationwide supply of clean fuel. Backed b y a strong logistics backbone and 18 ope rational LCNG stations, the company is uniquely positioned to serve long-haul freight corridors and key industrial hubs with efficiency and scale. This newly an nounced infrastructure push will enable LNG-powered vehicles to seamlessly ref uel across key national routes, reducing dependence on traditional fuels while cutting emissions significantly.
One of THINK Gas’s most notable innov ations is its Net Metering service for LN G, which allows logistics partners to trac k fuel usage in real-time—bringing trans parency, control, and cost savings to flee t operations. This service is particularly at tractive for companies aligned with E SG commitments and under pressure to decarbonize transport chains.
Additionally, the company’s stations are equipped with advanced Boil-off Gas (B oG) management systems, ensuring no methane is released into the atmospher e. This technology not only preserves fu el but reinforces the sustainability cred entials of THINK Gas’s offering. THINK Gas is also collaborating with leading O EMs, retrofitters, logistics firms, and tr ansporters to enable smoother LNG tru ck adoption and ensure vehicle availabil ity matches fuelling infrastructure rollo ut.
Through this ambitious expansion and i nfrastructure push, THINK Gas is not jus t scaling up its LNG footprint, it is active ly shaping the future of clean mobility in India. By enabling seamless access to LN G across key freight corridors and indus trial hubs, the company is driving a pow erful shift toward sustainable, low-emis sion logistics. With ongoing collaboratio ons along high-demand routes such as t he Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor, Ea stern Freight Corridor, and the Southern economic belt, THINK Gas is firmly posit ioned as a catalyst in India’s green freigh ht transition.
