Aim to shift a third of trucks to LNG in 5-7 Years: Oil Ministry

The Indian government aims to have liquefied natural gas (LNG) power a third of the country's long-haul heavy-duty vehicle fleet within 5-7 years, with plans to use domestic gas for this initiative. The proposal includes stabilizing LNG prices by allocating 0.5 million metric standard cubic meters per day of domestic gas for the next three years, sufficient to support 50,000 trucks.
