The Rajasthan government has started exploring the scope for utilisation of clean energy by making a transition to liquefied natural gas (LNG), compressed biogas and electric vehicles. The Rajasthan State Gas Limited (RSGL), a joint venture company, has presented a vision for expanding its operations in the new areas.
RSGL chairperson and Principal Secretary (Mines) T. Ravikanth said in Jaipur on Tuesday (February 3, 2026) that the State’s first LNG plant being established at Neemrana would benefit long-distance vehicles, mining areas, and industrial units. RSGL is a joint venture between the Rajasthan State Petroleum Corporation and GAIL Gas Limited.
The RSGL, acting as a nodal agency to develop natural gas infrastructure in Rajasthan, held 46th meeting of its Board of Directors here. Mr. Ravikanth said at the meeting that the supply of compressed biogas had been started on a pilot basis in Kota and steps were being taken to ensure easy availability of affordable and green energy for citizens.
“The possibilities of opening LNG outlets on the expressway, including in Jaipur and Kota, and developing an electric vehicle network within a 300-km to 400-km radius of Jaipur are being explored,” Mr. Ravikanth said.
Work has also been launched to establish compressed biogas plants and set up electric vehicle charging stations on the major routes. The meeting was informed that this task had been initiated a on a pilot basis, and the network would be expanded based on the results.
