Indraprastha Gas Limited (IGL) and Container Corporation of India Limited (CONCOR) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to explore the possibility of setting up LNG/LCNG infrastructure within the premise of CONCOR terminals. This strategic partnership aims to revolutionize the logistics sector replacing diesel with natural gas. The MoU signifies the commitment of both IGL and CONCOR to reduce carbon emissions and promote a cleaner, greener future for the transportation industry.

LNG trucks emit significantly lower levels of greenhouse gas emissions ompared to conventional diesel trucks, contributing to a cleaner environment and aligning with global sustainability goals. Key Highlights of the MoU: LNG Infrastructure: Initially, both LNG and LCNG facilities shall be installed at Dadri (Gautam Budh Nagar) terminal of CONCOR. IGL & CONCOR also agree to explore the possibility for transportation of LNG in future through railway rakes from LNG terminals near sea ports (e.g Dahej, Gujarat) to the desired locations within India.

Both entities shall jointly examine the possibility of using LNG fired engines in place of existing diesel fired engines, in various terminals of CONCOR. Based on the experience of initially planned LNG facility at CONCOR Dadri terminal, replicating the same at other terminals in future may be taken up progressively. Both companies are optimistic about the positive impact this collaboration will have on the logistics and transportation sector, fostering a paradigm shift towards sustainable practices.

The signing of the MoU signifies a shared vision for a cleaner and more sustainable future in the realm of goods transportation.
