Emarat Gas, a leading energy solutions provider in the Middle East has officially launched its Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) service in India, marking a significant expansion of its operations outside of the Gulf region. This new service aims to address the growing demand for affordable and efficient cooking fuel in Indian households, as well as support industrial users across the country.
India, the world’s third-largest importer of oil and natural gas, has seen a rapid increase in the consumption of LPG due to a shift in cooking habits and government efforts to promote clean energy. The Indian government’s ambitious Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY) initiative has facilitated the distribution of LPG connections to millions of rural households, driving a surge in demand for LPG over the past few years.
Emarat Gas, recognized the potential in the Indian market and has strategically positioned itself to serve the country’s expanding energy needs. The company has partnered with Indian distributors and local stakeholders to launch a comprehensive network of LPG supply chains, ensuring a steady, reliable, and cost-effective supply to meet both residential and commercial needs.
The move comes at a time when India is working to diversify its energy sources and reduce dependence on coal and traditional biomass, which are harmful to both health and the environment. LPG, being a cleaner alternative, is increasingly seen as a vital tool in reducing household air pollution, which is a significant concern in many parts of the country.
Emarat Gas has invested heavily in setting up storage and distribution infrastructure across key regions in North & South India, particularly in urban centers and rural areas with limited access to modern energy solutions. Also the company is planning to set up in the North Eastern region. The company has also committed to developing a robust logistics framework to ensure timely delivery of LPG cylinders to customers.
“We are excited to bring our world-class LPG services to India,” said Bhaskar Jit Saikia of Emarat Gas. “This marks a major milestone in our expansion strategy, and we are committed to delivering high-quality LPG products while supporting the Indian government’s clean energy goals. Our entry into the Indian market reflects our confidence in the country’s long-term growth prospects and the increasing demand for reliable, clean, and affordable cooking fuel.”
Emarat Gas’s move into India is expected to boost competition in the LPG sector, which has long been dominated by public sector companies such as Indian Oil Corporation (IOC), Bharat Petroleum (BPCL), and Hindustan Petroleum (HPCL). The entry of a global player like Emarat Gas could potentially lead to lower prices, better service quality, and greater innovation in the LPG distribution network.
The introduction of Emarat Gas’s services in India is likely to have a positive environmental and social impact. By promoting the use of LPG as a cleaner cooking fuel alternative, the company supports India’s efforts to reduce carbon emissions and curb deforestation, as many rural families still rely on wood and biomass for cooking. LPG is a more efficient fuel that produces fewer emissions compared to traditional fuels, contributing to improved air quality and public health.
Moreover, the partnership with local businesses for distribution channels is expected to create thousands of jobs and contribute to economic growth in the regions where Emarat Gas operates. The company’s focus on community engagement and corporate social responsibility will also play a key role in building lasting relationships with Indian consumers.
As India continues to expand its energy infrastructure to meet the needs of its growing population, Emarat Gas’s LPG service offers an important contribution to the country’s energy security. With its proven expertise in the energy sector, Emarat Gas is well-positioned to become a key player in the Indian LPG market and contribute to the ongoing transition to a more sustainable and cleaner energy future.
The company’s foray into India signals a broader trend of international energy firms increasingly looking to tap into the rapidly growing energy market in Asia, particularly as the demand for cleaner fuels rises amid the global push for sustainability.
