Emarat Gas, a prominent energy solutions provider based in the Middle East, has officially launched its Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) service in India, marking a major step in the company’s international expansion beyond the Gulf region. The move comes as part of Emarat Gas's strategy to address the growing demand for efficient, affordable cooking fuel across India, while also catering to industrial consumers throughout the country.
India, the world’s third-largest importer of oil and natural gas, has seen a significant increase in LPG consumption due to changing cooking habits and government initiatives focused on clean energy. Notably, the Pradhan Mantri Ujjwala Yojana (PMUY), a government program aimed at providing free LPG connections to rural households, has spurred a rise in demand for LPG across the nation in recent years.
Recognizing the immense potential of the Indian market, Emarat Gas has strategically aligned with local distributors and partners to establish a robust network for LPG supply. This includes developing storage and distribution infrastructure across key regions, particularly in both urban and rural areas, to ensure a continuous and reliable supply for residential and commercial users alike. Plans are also underway to expand into India's North Eastern states.
With India actively working to reduce its reliance on coal and traditional biomass—both of which have adverse health and environmental impacts—LPG is increasingly seen as a cleaner, more sustainable alternative. The widespread adoption of LPG is poised to reduce harmful household air pollution, which remains a significant issue in many parts of the country.
"We’re thrilled to bring our high-quality LPG services to India,” said Bhaskar Jit Saikia, representative of Emarat Gas. “This marks a key milestone in our expansion, and we’re dedicated to supporting India’s clean energy ambitions. Our entry into the market reflects our confidence in the country’s growth potential and the rising demand for reliable, affordable, and clean cooking fuel."
Emarat Gas’s entry is expected to inject healthy competition into India’s LPG sector, which has traditionally been dominated by state-owned giants like Indian Oil Corporation (IOC), Bharat Petroleum (BPCL), and Hindustan Petroleum (HPCL). The involvement of a global player such as Emarat Gas could drive improvements in pricing, service standards, and innovation within the LPG distribution network.
Beyond commercial benefits, Emarat Gas’s LPG services are poised to have a positive environmental and social impact in India. As a cleaner cooking fuel alternative, LPG can help reduce carbon emissions, prevent deforestation (especially in rural areas where wood and biomass are commonly used), and improve air quality, contributing to better public health outcomes.
The partnership with local businesses for distribution will also create thousands of jobs, supporting economic growth in regions where Emarat Gas operates. Through its commitment to corporate social responsibility, the company aims to foster lasting relationships with Indian consumers and contribute to the overall well-being of the communities it serves.
As India’s energy infrastructure continues to grow to meet the needs of its expanding population, Emarat Gas’s LPG service will play a key role in strengthening the nation’s energy security. With its extensive expertise in the energy sector, Emarat Gas is well-positioned to become a leading player in India’s LPG market and help accelerate the country’s transition to a cleaner, more sustainable energy future.
The company’s expansion into India is part of a broader trend of international energy firms looking to tap into the burgeoning energy markets in Asia, as global demand for cleaner fuels continues to rise in the wake of the global sustainability push.
