Greenply Partners With GreenLine To Deploy LNG Trucks For Outbound Logistics

Greenply Industries has partnered with GreenLine Mobility Solutions to bring LNG-powered trucks into its outbound logistics operations, marking a formal extension of the plywood and panel maker's sustainability efforts beyond its factory floor and into how its products actually move through the supply chain. The partnership was marked with a flag-off of GreenLine's LNG-powered trucks at Greenply's Vadodara manufacturing facility.

What Greenply And GreenLine Have Partnered On

Under the arrangement, Greenply will use GreenLine's LNG-powered trucks to transport products from its Vadodara plant to destinations across its wider distribution network. Sanidhya Mittal, Joint Managing Director at Greenply Industries, said the company sees sustainability as extending beyond what happens inside its manufacturing facilities, to how its products and materials actually move through the value chain, a framing that puts this logistics partnership squarely inside Greenply's broader environmental commitments rather than treating it as a one-off pilot.

For Greenply, the partnership also serves a practical purpose beyond emissions, it gives the company a real opportunity to assess how feasible alternative-fuel transportation actually is across its dispatch network, before deciding how far to scale it.

How Much These LNG Trucks Actually Cut Emissions

The numbers behind GreenLine's LNG-powered trucks are genuinely significant. According to GreenLine, its LNG trucks can cut carbon dioxide emissions by up to 40 percent, sulphur oxides by up to 100 percent, nitrogen oxides by up to 59 percent, particulate matter by up to 91 percent and carbon monoxide by up to 70 percent, all compared to conventional diesel trucks doing the same job.

That kind of across-the-board reduction, cutting nearly every major pollutant category rather than just one, is exactly why LNG has become an increasingly attractive middle-ground fuel for companies looking to clean up long-haul freight without waiting for electric trucks to mature further on range and charging infrastructure for heavy, high-mileage routes.

Who GreenLine Mobility Solutions Actually Is

GreenLine Mobility Solutions, an Essar venture, isn't a small or unproven player in this space. The company operates more than 1,000 LNG- and electric-powered heavy commercial vehicles across major freight corridors in India, serving customers spanning steel, cement, mining, FMCG and chemicals, industries that between them account for a huge share of India's heavy road freight volume. GreenLine says its fleet has collectively travelled more than 100 million km, helping customers avoid more than 27,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions along the way.

The company runs LNG-powered trucks specifically for long-haul transportation, while reserving electric vehicles for shorter-haul operations, a split that reflects where each fuel type currently makes the most practical sense. LNG suits sustained, high-mileage highway routes where refuelling speed and range still matter more than anything electric can currently match, while electric trucks work well on predictable, shorter routes with reliable charging access.

What Greenply Plans To Do Next

Beyond this initial deployment, Greenply intends to use the partnership to properly evaluate alternative-fuel transportation across its broader dispatch network and to explore further opportunities for deploying cleaner mobility solutions based on what it learns from actual operational experience with GreenLine's fleet. GreenLine, for its part, is also investing in the infrastructure side of this equation. Through its subsidiary Ultra Gas and Energy, the company is developing a nationwide network of LNG refuelling retail outlets, aimed at supporting wider adoption of LNG-powered commercial vehicles across India's freight corridors more broadly, not just for Greenply's own logistics.

Madhur Taneja, CEO of GreenLine Mobility Solutions, framed the partnership around a simple, practical idea: that shifting to lower-emission logistics needs solutions that can actually slot into existing supply chains without compromising operational efficiency. For a manufacturer like Greenply, that's really the whole appeal, cutting emissions on its outbound logistics without having to rebuild its entire distribution network from scratch to do it.
