Container Corporation of India Ltd (CONCOR) has partnered with GAIL (India) Ltd to establish Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) facilities at CONCOR’s terminals across the country.
The collaboration’s main goal is to ensure a reliable supply of LNG fuel to support CONCOR’s road transport operations. The first LNG station will be set up at CONCOR’s Khodiyar terminal in Ahmedabad. The two companies also plan to explore further cooperation in areas that will benefit both.
The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed by Ahmed Wasi Khan, General Manager (P&S) at CONCOR, and Kapil Kumar Jain, Executive Director (Marketing-Retail LNG) at GAIL. The signing ceremony was attended by CONCOR Chairman and Managing Director Sanjay Swarup, GAIL Director (Marketing) Sanjay Kumar, and other senior officials from both organizations.
Sanjay Swarup highlighted that the partnership demonstrates CONCOR’s ongoing commitment to sustainable logistics. He also noted that the company has already opened an LNG station at its Khatuwas Multi-Modal Logistics Park and operates 130 LNG-powered trailers, which have contributed to a significant reduction in emissions. Sanjay Kumar from GAIL praised CONCOR’s efforts to clean up transport and confirmed GAIL’s commitment to supporting such initiatives with its expertise and infrastructure.
CONCOR, a major public sector company under the Ministry of Railways, specializes in multi-modal logistics and is incorporating more eco-friendly alternatives in its services. This partnership represents a key step toward cleaner fuels in the logistics sector, promoting lower emissions in freight transportation across the country.
