Mumbai, 30
October 2025.
Tata Motors,
India’s largest commercial vehicle manufacturer, has signed a Memorandum Of
Understanding (MoU) with THINK Gas, India’s leading City Gas Distribution
player, to strengthen the LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) refueling ecosystem for
long-haul and heavy-duty trucking in the country. The partnership aims to
enhance infrastructure readiness, build greater awareness around fuel quality,
and enable wider adoption of LNG-powered commercial vehicles, accelerating the
transition towards cleaner and more decarbonised freight operations.
As part of this
collaboration, Tata Motors will work closely with THINK Gas to identify
potential freight corridors and logistics clusters for LNG infrastructure
expansion. THINK Gas will focus on maintaining high standards of fuel quality
and supply reliability, ensuring optimal vehicle performance and efficiency.
Exclusive benefits, including preferential pricing, will also be extended to
Tata Motors customers.
Speaking on the
partnership, Mr. Rajesh Kaul, Vice President & Business Head – Trucks,
Tata Motors, said, “As India advances towards sustainable and efficient
freight movement, LNG presents a compelling solution for long-haul and
heavy-duty trucking. Recognising its potential early on, we have developed
robust solutions that deliver higher fuel efficiency, reduced emissions, and
superior performance. Through this partnership with THINK Gas, our goal is to
strengthen ecosystem readiness – ensuring reliable access to refuelling
infrastructure and enabling fleet operators to adopt LNG with confidence. This
collaboration marks another step forward in our commitment to advancing
cleaner, future-ready mobility solutions for India’s commercial vehicle
industry.”
Representing
THINK Gas, Mr. Somil Garg, Senior Vice President and Business Head (LNG
Fuel), said, “At THINK Gas, our aim is to make cleaner fuels accessible
and affordable across India. Partnering with Tata Motors, a leader in advancing
alternate-fuel mobility will help us strategically scale our expansion.
Supported by our global investors —I-Squared Capital, Osaka Gas, Sumitomo
Corporation, Konoike Transport, JOIN, we remain committed to building a robust,
safe, and sustainable LNG network nationwide.”
Tata Motors is at
the forefront of developing innovative mobility solutions powered by
alternative fuel technologies such as battery electric, CNG, LNG, hydrogen
internal combustion, and hydrogen fuel cell. The company offers a robust
portfolio of alternate-fuel powered commercial vehicles across various
segments, including small commercial vehicles, trucks, buses and vans.
THINK Gas currently operates 18 Liquefied
and Compressed Natural Gas (LCNG) stations, with several additional stations
under development. Its proposed LCNG corridor is designed to connect key
industrial hubs, agricultural regions, and logistics centres across the country.
The corridor will cater to critical transport routes enabling efficient and
reliable LNG fuelling access for fleets operating across manufacturing,
warehousing, export, and agricultural supply chains.
