Emarat Gas, a leading energy solutions provider in the Middle East, has officially launched its Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) service in India, marking a major step in its expansion beyond the Gulf region. This new service is designed to meet the increasing demand for affordable and efficient cooking fuel in Indian households, while also serving industrial users across the country.
India, the world’s third-largest importer of oil and natural gas, has seen a sharp rise in LPG consumption in recent years, driven by changing cooking habits and government initiatives aimed at promoting clean energy. The Indian government’s Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY) program, which provides free LPG connections to rural households, has played a significant role in accelerating demand for LPG.
Recognizing the potential in the Indian market, Emarat Gas has partnered with local distributors and stakeholders to establish a reliable and cost-effective LPG supply chain. The company has invested in infrastructure across key regions of North and South India, focusing on urban centers and rural areas with limited access to modern energy sources. Emarat Gas is also planning to expand into India’s North Eastern region.
The move comes as India seeks to diversify its energy sources and reduce dependence on coal and traditional biomass, both of which pose serious health and environmental risks. LPG, as a cleaner alternative, is increasingly viewed as a critical solution to reduce household air pollution, a major concern in many parts of the country.
"We are thrilled to bring our world-class LPG services to India," said Bhaskar Jit Saikia of Emarat Gas. "This marks a key milestone in our expansion strategy. We are committed to supporting India’s clean energy goals while providing reliable, high-quality LPG to meet the growing demand for cooking fuel."
Emarat Gas’s entry into the Indian market is expected to drive 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 presence of a global player like Emarat Gas could lead to improved pricing, service quality, and innovation within the LPG distribution network.
The launch of Emarat Gas’s services is also expected to have significant environmental and social benefits. By promoting LPG as a cleaner cooking fuel, the company will help reduce carbon emissions and curb deforestation, as many rural families still rely on wood and biomass. LPG’s higher efficiency and lower emissions will contribute to better air quality and public health.
Additionally, the company’s partnerships with local businesses for distribution will create thousands of jobs and boost economic growth in the regions where Emarat Gas operates. Through its commitment to community engagement and corporate social responsibility, Emarat Gas aims to build lasting relationships with Indian consumers.
As India continues to develop its energy infrastructure to meet the needs of its growing population, Emarat Gas’s LPG service plays a key role in enhancing the country’s energy security. With its expertise in the energy sector, Emarat Gas is well-positioned to become a significant player in India’s LPG market and contribute to the country’s transition to a cleaner, more sustainable energy future.
