Tata Motors, THINK Gas ink pact to strengthen LNG trucking infrastructure in India

Tata Motors, India’s largest commercial vehicle manufacturer, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with THINK Gas to accelerate the development of the LNG refuelling ecosystem for long-haul trucking. The collaboration, announced on 30 October 2025, aims to strengthen India’s clean mobility infrastructure by promoting LNG-powered heavy-duty commercial vehicles and expanding refuelling networks across key logistics routes.

Under the agreement, Tata Motors will help identify critical freight corridors and logistics hubs for LNG infrastructure, while THINK Gas will ensure high-quality fuel supply and operational reliability. Tata Motors’ customers are also expected to receive benefits such as preferential pricing at THINK Gas stations. “LNG presents a compelling solution for long-haul trucking,” said Rajesh Kaul, Vice President & Business Head – Trucks, Tata Motors, emphasising improved efficiency, reduced emissions, and infrastructure readiness.

THINK Gas Senior Vice President Somil Garg highlighted the company’s commitment to affordable clean fuels, backed by global investors including Osaka Gas and Sumitomo Corporation. THINK Gas currently operates 18 LCNG stations with plans to expand nationwide corridors connecting major industrial and agricultural hubs. Industry experts in the Kolkata logistics and transport market say the partnership could significantly benefit eastern freight corridors connecting port operations and industrial belts. With Kolkata emerging as an important logistics hub for eastern India, fleet operators anticipate improved LNG access and lower fuel costs, boosting cleaner transport adoption in the region. Tata Motors continues to lead India’s alternative-fuel commercial vehicle segment, spanning electric, CNG, LNG, and hydrogen-powered models.
