Ultra Gas & Energy Ltd (UGEL) has emerged as India’s largest private operator and highest dispensing LNG refuelling outlets (RO). UGEL, an Essar venture, has six stations operational across major freight corridors.
These ROs are strategically located in Bhilwara (Rajasthan), Anand (Gujarat), Chakan-Pune (Maharashtra), Jalna (Maharashtra), Toranagallu (Karnataka), and Vallam (Tamil Nadu), enabling efficient access to cleaner fuel across key industrial and logistics hubs.
With an investment of Rs 900 crore, the clean-tech company aims to scale its network to 100 LNG retail outlets across the country. Currently, the UGEL is already expanding in several states including Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Haryana, Punjab, Karnataka, Odisha, Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand.
In a statement, Maqsood Shaikh, Managing Director & CEO, Ultra Gas & Energy Ltd, said: “Our retail outlets are built to do more than just dispense fuel, they are catalysts for a cleaner, smarter logistics future.
Backed by robust infrastructure and intelligent energy solutions, we are proud to lead India’s transition toward greener fuels and sustainable mobility. At UGEL, our vision is firmly rooted in innovation, efficiency, and environmental responsibility.”
Strategically placed to serve high-density logistics zones, these stations are accelerating the shift from diesel to LNG – a cleaner and more efficient fuel for long-haul trucking. Each UGEL station has a scalable capacity of 50 tonnes, capable of refuelling up to 600 LNG trucks per month. Each station can reduce up to 66,000 tonnes of CO₂ emissions annually, collectively reducing 1 million tonnes of CO₂.
“To ensure uninterrupted operations, UGEL has partnered with IOCL, GAIL, HPCL and other leading LNG suppliers with access to all major LNG terminals of India, ensuring consistent fuel supply and enabling smooth scalability,” the company said in a release.
