The strategic partnership seeks to accelerate clean freight mobility across industrial and logistics corridors.
THINK Gas, a leading city gas distribution company, has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Tata Motors, India’s largest commercial vehicle manufacturer, to strengthen the liquefied natural gas (LNG) refuelling ecosystem for long-haul and heavy-duty trucking. The collaboration aims to accelerate the adoption of LNG-powered commercial vehicles as part of India’s transition to cleaner freight operations.
Under the partnership, THINK Gas and Tata Motors will jointly identify key freight corridors and logistics clusters for LNG infrastructure expansion. THINK Gas will ensure high standards of fuel quality and supply reliability, while offering exclusive benefits, including preferential pricing, to Tata Motors customers.
Somil Garg, Senior Vice President and Business Head (LNG Fuel), THINK Gas, said, “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, and JOIN—we remain committed to building a robust, safe, and sustainable LNG network nationwide.”
Rajesh Kaul, Vice President & Business Head, Trucks, Tata Motors, added, “As India advances towards sustainable and efficient freight movement, LNG presents a compelling solution for long-haul and heavy-duty trucking. 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.”
THINK Gas currently operates 18 liquefied and compressed natural gas (LCNG) stations, with several more under development. Its proposed LCNG corridor will connect key industrial hubs, agricultural regions, and logistics centres, enabling efficient LNG access for fleets across manufacturing, warehousing, export, and agri-supply chains.
Tata Motors continues to lead in alternative fuel mobility, offering a diverse portfolio of commercial vehicles powered by battery electric, CNG, LNG, hydrogen internal combustion, and hydrogen fuel cell technologies.
