INOX Air Products (INOXAP), a player in industrial, electronic, and specialty gases in India, has flagged off the nation’s first LNG-fuelled cryogenic tanker. The tanker received approval from the Petroleum & Explosives Safety Organization (PESO), under the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT), Ministry of Commerce.
By leveraging the June 2025 amendment to the Static and Mobile Pressure Vessels (Unfired) Rules, 2016, INOXAP has become the first industrial gas manufacturer in India to achieve this milestone, highlighting the government’s vision to promote LNG as a sustainable transport fuel.
Regulatory Milestone Enables Clean Transport
Sh P Seeniraj, Joint Chief Controller of Explosives, PESO Vadodara Circle, officially flagged off the tanker. It features a 450-litre Kryopower LNG fuel tank, manufactured by INOX India Ltd, India’s largest cryogenic equipment manufacturer.
This innovation will deliver significant environmental and operational benefits:
*CO₂ emissions reduced by up to 25%
*Particulates cut by 95%
*Quieter and more efficient performance
*Long-term cost optimization and cleaner logistics
Pioneering Sustainable Industrial Logistics
Siddharth Jain, Director – INOX Group, said, “INOXAP is spearheading a clean-energy shift in India’s industrial gases sector by flagging off the nation’s first LNG-fuelled cryogenic tanker. This transformative step redefines sustainable logistics while strengthening supply chains for critical industries. We are grateful to DPIIT for enabling this through an extremely progressive policy amendment and PESO for providing the necessary statutory approvals.” He added that the achievement underscores the convergence of forward-looking policy, indigenous engineering excellence, and sustainable innovation. It sets a benchmark for global engineering leadership.
Green Innovation at Scale
INOXCVA’s LNG fuel tanks are already the most widely deployed in India’s industrial gas transport sector. As per the press release, this milestone shows INOXAP demonstrating scalable green solutions. These solutions support India’s manufacturing ecosystem and drive the transition to cleaner, more sustainable industrial logistics.
