This document discusses small scale liquefied natural gas (LNG) distribution in remote areas without pipeline access in India. It profiles three companies involved in small scale LNG - Petronet LNG Limited, INOX India Ltd., and LNG Express India Private Limited. Petronet operates LNG tankers and satellite stations to distribute LNG branded as "Taral Gas" to small industries within 800km of terminals. INOX provides cryogenic storage and vaporization equipment. LNG Express markets LNG from terminals in Bhopal, Mandideep and Baroda to industrial and commercial customers via cryogenic tankers. The document also outlines the components, costs, and timelines associated with small scale LNG distribution

Introduction
The current domestic production of natural gas has been plummeting. To meet the industrial
demand of natural gas, the country has developed a number of LNG terminals in Western India.
Due to the lack of pipeline infrastructure, there is a scope for RLNG through cryogenic tanks to
the small scale industries in the remote locations.
This study was conducted in the form of secondary research to study the scope of small scale
LNG beyond the pipeline network in the vicinity of LNG terminals in India. The study covers
the operations of three such firms in the vicinity of Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, and
Rajasthan (Vicinity of the LNG terminals)

Petronet LNG Limited
Vision Statement
"To be a key energy provider to the nation by leveraging company’s unique position in the LNG
value chain along with an international presence”
Mission Statement
Create and manage world class LNG infrastructure
Pursue synergetic business growth opportunities
Continue excellence in LNG business
Maximize value creation for the stakeholders
Maintain highest standards of business ethics and values
Commencement of Commercial Operations - April, 2004
As the Kochi LNG Plant faces problem of under plant utilization due to delay of commencement
of Kochi Bangalore pipeline, It is facing tough time in meeting the financial projection.

Taral Gas
It is the trade name of the LNG supplied by road tankers. The Company has launched its product
under the generic brand name “TARAL GAS”- the New Age Fuel, through LNG satellite hubs/
stations that will serve the industries which are not connected through pipelines, heavy
automotives on highways, housing complexes etc. Commencement of the brand on 25th
September 2014.
Customers
In its pilot project, Petronet LNG had successfully supplied Taral Gas to HLL Lifecare
plant in Thiruvananthapuram in September. At present, Petronet LNG has three trucks
with a capacity of 8-9 tonnes each for the retail supply of the fuel in the state.250 km
distance from the port.
At present, 20 trucks of Petronet LNG are operating daily in North India, carrying fuel to
various consumers from its LNG terminals in Gujarat.
Currently about 4-5 trucks are loaded on daily basis & total of around 2000 trucks have
been loaded till date.
Facility can handle 2500 loadings / Yr.
Presently LNG (by road tanker) is being sold to limited consumers in Western region.
Fast developing market with several new consumers (up to 800 KMS) are being lined up
for off-take of LNG for industrial and city gas use.
Business Components
Following are the main components for the LNG at Doorstep business –
1) LNG tanker loading facility.
2) Cryogenic LNG road tankers.
3) LNG Storage & re-gasification facility at customer location generally called LNG Satellite
station.

GoLNG
GoLNG is transported or distributed by transportation tanks unlike PNG which is transported by
trunk lines and piped network. On-site storage tank is applicable in case of GoLNG.
Regasification takes place at the site rather than at the LNG terminal. The maintenance is
restricted to on-site facility and transport tanks and it affects to a single customer only. The costs
are low on capex for facility but the transportation costs are relatively higher than in PNG. The
total costs may vary for customers in the same area therefore. Unlike lead times for new network
of 10-12 months for PNG, GoLNG will have only 4-8 months.

Conclusion
• Users don’t need to wait for natural gas pipelines to switch to a cleaner alternative
• New terminals coming up are providing for road distribution of LNG
• LNG/RLNG marketers need to build distribution systems in their business models
• Active government & regulatory support is needed to increase natural gas footprint
