NEW DELHI : Govt aims to reduce diesel use, plans ₹10,000 cr investment in LNG retail
Petroleum and natural gas minister Dharmendra Pradhan on Thursday said Indian firms are likely spend ₹10,000 crore over three years on 1,000 liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminals along main roads, industrial hubs and in mining areas of the country to cut the fossil fuel consumption.
“LNG is going to be the fuel of the future for transport, and in this regard, retro-fitting of the vehicles as well as development by original equipment manufacturers is being undertaken,” Pradhan said at a foundation-laying ceremony for 50 LNG stations.
