Indian industrial gas company INOX Air Products has launched India’s first cryogenic tanker fuelled by liquefied natural gas approved by the Petroleum & Safety Organization (PESO).
The launch follows an amendment to the Static and Mobile Pressure Vessels (Unfired) Rules, 2016, which allows LNG-fuelled vehicles to operate in India with PESO approval.
Fuelled by LNG stored in a 450-litre Kryopower tank made by INOX India, the tanker is expected to reduce CO2 emissions by up to 25% and particulates by 95%.
The vehicle will primarily transport industrial gases produced by INOX Air Products in Gujarat to customers across the state.
Siddharth Jain, Director of the INOX Group, described the news as a transformative step that redefines sustainable logistics while strengthening supply chains.
“We are grateful to DPIIT for enabling this through an extremely progressive policy amendment and PESO for necessary assistance and statutory approvals.
“This milestone exemplifies the powerful convergence of forward-looking policy, indigenous engineering excellence, and sustainable innovation,” he said.
Both the tanker and LNG fuel tank were designed and manufactured at INOXCVA facilities in Gujarat.
