Tata Motors, India’s largest commercial vehicle manufacturer, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with THINK Gas, one of India’s fastest-growing City Gas Distribution companies, to accelerate the adoption of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) for long-haul and heavy-duty trucking. The partnership is aimed at strengthening India’s LNG refuelling ecosystem, improving infrastructure readiness, and enabling fleet operators to transition towards cleaner and cost-efficient freight movement.
Under the collaboration, Tata Motors and THINK Gas will jointly identify key freight routes, logistics hubs, and industrial corridors where LNG refuelling stations can be strategically set up. THINK Gas will ensure reliable access to high-quality LNG fuel, while maintaining strong supply and safety standards. Tata Motors’ customers using LNG-powered trucks will also receive exclusive benefits, including preferential pricing.
“As India advances towards sustainable and efficient freight movement, LNG presents a compelling solution for long-haul and heavy-duty trucking,” said Mr. Rajesh Kaul, Vice President & Business Head – Trucks, Tata Motors. He added that the collaboration will boost ecosystem preparedness, giving fleet operators confidence to adopt LNG trucks backed by reliable infrastructure.
Mr. Somil Garg, Senior Vice President and Business Head (LNG Fuel), THINK Gas, said the partnership is a strategic step toward making cleaner fuels more accessible and affordable across the country. Backed by global investors including I-Squared Capital, Osaka Gas and Sumitomo Corporation, THINK Gas aims to rapidly expand its LNG station network.
THINK Gas currently operates 18 LCNG stations with more under development, designed to connect key logistics centres, industrial zones, and agricultural supply chains. The partnership aligns with Tata Motors’ multi-fuel strategy, spanning battery electric, CNG, LNG, hydrogen ICE, and fuel cell technologies.
