GreenLine Mobility Solutions, part of the Essar Group, participated in the ET Supply Chain Leadership Summit 2026, which brought together senior supply chain leaders to examine how India’s logistics networks can be made more resilient, efficient, and sustainable. Representing GreenLine was
Mr. Yudhishthir Ruia, Member of the Founding Family, Essar Group, who led a session titled “India’s Time to Decarbonise Logistics”.
Picking up on the summit’s resilience theme, Yudhishthir noted that a supply chain is only as resilient as the connections between its parts, and that decarbonising freight cannot be solved by any single player in isolation. GreenLine is structured accordingly, as an integrated ecosystem of three entities: Blue Energy Motors, the OEM manufacturing LNG and EV heavy-duty trucks; GreenLine, the pure-play logistics company that owns and operates the fleet; and Ultra Gas & Energy, which is building India’s relay network of LNG refuelling stations. Bringing all three together, he said, is what breaks the chicken-and-egg dynamic that has stalled the transition.
He sized the opportunity at India’s 4 million medium and heavy-duty trucks, which emit close to 450 million tonnes of CO₂ a year and could double within a decade. At ₹80 lakh to ₹1 crore per green truck, transitioning that fleet represents an $800 billion to $1 trillion market, with a further $2 trillion in running those vehicles as a service, and the demand, he added, is already there.
On progress to date, Yudhishthir shared that GreenLine operates close to 1,000 LNG and EV trucks and has crossed 100 million kilometres since launching its LNG vehicle in September 2022, with a goal of 10,000 trucks in three to four years. LNG trucks run 1,200–1,400 kilometres on a single fill, extended to nearly 2,400 through a dual-tank innovation, while EVs cover up to 200 kilometres with five-minute battery swaps. Each vehicle captures 120 data points per second for real-time customer visibility, and every trip generates a green certificate quantifying CO₂ saved for Scope 3 reporting.
On infrastructure, he said Ultra Gas & Energy is rolling out 30 to 50 LNG stations pan-India, of which around 10 are operational and eight more are due to go live within six months, sited on the country’s densest freight corridors.
Yudhishthir closed on the point that this is not a future proposition. With 1,000 vehicles running, over 100 million kilometres completed, and a fuelling network already live, decarbonised heavy-duty logistics is, in his words, available and scalable in India today.
