Pune Gas Enters North India with Delhi’s First Smart Gas Experience Centre, Eyes Over 7 Lakh Commercial LPG Users

Pune Gas, a leading player in commercial and industrial gas systems, has marked a major milestone by opening North India’s first dedicated commercial and industrial LPG and Natural Gas Experience Centre in Okhla, Delhi. This is Pune Gas’ first owned centre and seventh overall, signalling a strong foray into the northern market.

The launch event saw the presence of Mr. Jaisinh Sampat, Founder & Managing Director, along with Mr. Jesal Sampat (Executive Director), Mr. Bhaven Udeshi (Director of Sales), Mrs. Radhika Oza (Director of Projects), and the North India team, underscoring the company’s commitment to growth in the region.

The new Delhi centre will act as a hub for businesses across Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, and Uttarakhand, offering hands-on demonstrations, expert consultations, and end-to-end solutions — from vaporizers to advanced gas safety systems.

Driving Cleaner, Efficient Energy Use

India consumed over 30,900 TMT of LPG in FY23, yet only 16% of this was by industrial and commercial sectors, many of which still rely on diesel, furnace oil, or even wood. In North India alone, over 7.12 lakh commercial LPG users face inefficiencies like cylinder freezing, losing 3–4 kg of gas daily. Pune Gas’ flagship LPGenius system directly addresses this, ensuring steady vaporisation and up to 30% savings on LPG costs.

Speaking at the launch, Mr. Jaisinh Sampat said, “Delhi’s strategic position as an industrial and commercial hub makes it the perfect base. As MSMEs and industries grow, our mission is to drive efficiency, safety, and sustainability. With our systems already helping save nearly ₹1,400 crore annually by reducing fuel wastage, we’re excited to deepen our footprint here.”

Echoing this, Mr. Jesal Sampat added, “Through our Experience Centres, we are bridging the knowledge gap and making smart gas systems accessible to businesses of all sizes. As energy costs rise and sustainability norms tighten, industries need smarter, cleaner alternatives — exactly what we bring to the table.”
