A number of governments around the world have actively encouraged use of auto LPG in recognition of its environmental benefits, as well as its inherent practical and cost advantages over conventional and other alternative fuels.

To tackle the problem of poor air quality, the Government of India is focusing on a long term solution of electrification of transportation.

Not only is the singular pursuit of electric vehicles (EVs) riddled with uncertainties, it also comes at the cost of other viable alternative fuels like auto LPG which can be rolled out much faster and with more immediate results, writes Suyash Gupta.

Air quality in many cities continues to deteriorate. Rolling out electric vehicles (EVs) will take several decades of work and infrastructural development

Suyash Gupta, Director General of Indian Auto LPG Coalition (IAC), believes that the CNG industry will be impacted as the electric vehicles (EVs) narrative builds up. IAC, which is the nodal body for the promotion of auto LPG in India, have members from oil sector PSUs, private auto LPG marketers, kit suppliers and equipment manufacturers.
