03, December 2025

Finally, the day is here; we all can breathe fresh air!

We all know that we are living in a society where the population is growing rapidly. At the same time, the number of vehicles bought and used by this population is also growing. Due to this situation, the amount of pollution in India is also growing at an alarming rate.

Due to all these, there is a pressing need for a sustainable transportation solution. GAIL INDIAN COMPANY Limited has stepped up with a transformative initiative: the CNG Promotional Scheme, launched on September 10, 2021. They specifically target Bangalore's urban and Rural districts, which provides an excellent opportunity for individuals and organizations to transition to Compressed Natural Gas, aka CNG vehicles.

This GAIL Company scheme aims to incentivize the purchase of new CNG vehicles and the conversion of existing ones to CNG, which ensures a cleaner and greener environment for future generations. The promotional scheme is available for everyone, including organizations or business ventures looking to purchase new vehicles or convert existing ones to CNG.
