Josler Energy will offer technical support, field expertise, and training to IGL employees, equipping them to use the latest gas leak detection technologies and best practices.

Josler Energy had reportedly surveyed over 20,000 kilometers of underground pipelines since 2019, helping to prevent hazardous leaks that could jeopardise public safety, the environment, and financial resources.

The collaboration was expected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, enhance operational efficiency, and ensure the long-term sustainability of India’s natural gas infrastructure. This initiative aligns with the Indian government’s vision for a cleaner, greener future, as outlined by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his continued efforts to lower the country’s carbon footprint.
