29 Dec 2025 CW Team

INOX Air Products (INOXAP) has recently flagged off India’s first LNG-fuelled cryogenic tanker approved by Petroleum and Safety Organisation (PESO), under the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT). The deployment follows a June 2025 amendment to the Static and Mobile Pressure Vessels (Unfired) Rules, 2016, enabling LNG to be used as a transport fuel for cryogenic applications.

The tanker was flagged off by Sh P Seeniraj, Joint Chief Controller of Explosives, PESO Vadodara Circle. It is powered by a 450-litre LNG fuel tank manufactured by INOX India, and is expected to reduce CO? emissions by up to 25 per cent and particulate emissions by 95 per cent, while delivering quieter and more efficient operations.

Commenting on the milestone, Siddharth Jain, Director – INOX Group, said the initiative marks a transformative step towards sustainable logistics in the industrial gases sector, enabled by progressive policy support and indigenous engineering.

Designed and manufactured in Gujarat, both the cryogenic tanker and LNG fuel tank support a localised, resilient supply chain, serving customers primarily within the state and reinforcing India’s clean energy and decarbonisation goals.
