Rising Adoption of Gas-Based Power Generation
India’s transition to cleaner energy sources is accelerating with a strong push toward gas-based power generation. Concerns over emissions from coal and diesel-fired plants are prompting industries and utilities to adopt gas engines. Government initiatives, including a $67 billion investment to expand the gas pipeline network by 9,630 miles (15,500 km) and city gas distribution projects, are improving natural gas accessibility. The cost-effectiveness of natural gas compared to liquid fuels further strengthens its appeal for power producers. Industrial sectors such as manufacturing, oil and gas, and data centers are increasingly using gas engines for captive power. Additionally, gas engines are playing a crucial role in supporting renewable energy integration, ensuring grid stability, and reducing reliance on conventional fossil fuels.
Expansion of Gas Distribution Infrastructure
India's expanding natural gas infrastructure is driving gas engine adoption across industries. With natural gas demand projected to grow nearly 60% by 2030, reaching approximately 103 billion cubic meters per year, government-led initiatives such as the City Gas Distribution (CGD) network expansion and cross-country pipeline investments are enhancing gas accessibility. Growing supply of LNG and CNG is driving the use of gas engines for power generation, transportation, and industrial usage. Foreign investment and private sector ventures are further increasing the strength of the gas supply chain. Growing urbanization and rural development leading to improvement in gas distribution means industries and commerce are more moving towards using gas engines as a cleaner and economic option to the conventional diesel and coal-fired based power sources.
Technological Advancements Enhancing Efficiency
Continuous advancements in gas engine technology are significantly enhancing efficiency, performance, and reliability. Innovations in combustion technology, turbocharging, and emission control systems enable manufacturers to develop high-power, low-emission gas engines. The integration of digital monitoring and predictive maintenance optimizes fuel consumption and minimizes downtime. Notably, GE Power's 9HA series gas turbine has achieved 64% efficiency, driven by additive manufacturing and advanced combustion technology. Dual-fuel and hybrid engine innovations expand applications across industries, while the push for hydrogen and biogas-compatible engines aligns with India’s renewable energy targets. These advancements make gas engines more competitive than diesel counterparts, fostering increased adoption in power generation, industrial, and commercial sectors as India transitions toward cleaner energy solutions.
