GreenLine Plans Rs 15 Billion LNG Fleet Investment

28 May 2026 CW Team

GreenLine indicated the shift to LNG is expected to cut diesel consumption significantly and deliver substantial operating cost savings over the fleet lifecycle. The company outlined that LNG trucks offer lower fuel unit costs and longer range characteristics for long distance haulage when compared with conventional diesel alternatives. It also cited improved uptime through cleaner combustion and reduced maintenance intervals as drivers of total cost of ownership benefits, and the move is designed to lower costs.

The investment will also fund the rollout of LNG refuelling hubs in strategic locations and partnerships with fuel suppliers and logistics customers. GreenLine said it will work with vehicle manufacturers and conversion specialists to certify chassis and driveline systems for LNG use and to manage warranty protocols. Capital allocation will balance fleet acquisition, infrastructure build out and ancillary services to support predictable operations. Rollout will prioritise high density corridors and extend to regional routes soon.

Industry analysts noted that a shift to cleaner gaseous fuels can support decarbonisation targets for heavy road transport and reduce particulate emissions in urban consolidation zones. GreenLine indicated the move forms part of a broader sustainability strategy that seeks to combine lower fuel costs with lower emissions intensity per kilometre. The company said performance metrics will be tracked and disclosed to customers and stakeholders as operations scale up. Implementation timelines will be reviewed annually thereafter.

GreenLine has announced a plan to invest Rs 15 billion (15 bn) to expand the use of liquefied natural gas (LNG) in its trucking operations. The company said the funding will support procurement of LNG powered heavy duty trucks and the establishment of refuelling facilities on key long haul routes. The programme will also include staff training and maintenance provisions to ensure operational readiness and safety compliance across its logistics network and reduce fuel spend.
