The INOX India (INOX) has entered a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Shell Energy India, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Royal Dutch Shell, for partnering and developing the market for LNG supply by road from Shell Energy India’s LNG terminal in Hazira, Gujarat.
The MoU envisages deployment of distribution infrastructure including logistics and receiving facilities at the customer-end and will offer LNG access to customers not connected to the pipelines.
This will help in increasing the penetration and consumption of clean, reliable and cost-efficient LNG to commercial and industrial users all over the nation.
The pact also covers cooperation in developing a larger market for LNG as a transport fuel for long-haul heavy-duty trucks and buses.
Shell Energy India owns and operates a five million tpa LNG receiving, storage and re-gasification terminal at Hazira in Gujarat. It is building a truck loading facility at Hazira terminal and the partnering with INOX will help the company to develop the market for LNG as a preferred fuel in the rapidly growing city gas distribution, liquefied-to-compressed natural gas (LCNG) and industrial sector along with usage of LNG as an auto fuel.
