Pune Gas Launches Telangana’s First Experience Centre, Fueling Smarter Energy Solutions for the Hospitality Sector

Published on April 23, 2025

Pune Gas, one of India’s leading names in commercial and industrial gas systems, has officially entered Telangana with the launch of its fifth Experience Centre in Hyderabad. This marks a significant step forward in the company’s mission to make smart, efficient, and regulation-compliant gas solutions accessible to hospitality and commercial sectors across the country.

The centre was inaugurated by Mr. A Babu Rao Garu, Chairman of Café Niloufer, a Hyderabad icon and the country's largest tea café chain. Joining him at the launch were Mr. Jesal Sampat (Executive Director, Pune Gas), Mr. Bhaven Udeshi (Director of Sales, Pune Gas), and Mr. P Vinay Prakash (CEO, Ignite LPG and Franchise Owner – Pune Gas Experience Centre, Hyderabad).

Speaking at the launch, Mr. Sampat shared, “Pune Gas has always believed in transforming businesses through gas innovation. With Experience Centres like these, we’re making it ea

sier for businesses of all sizes to discover the value of smarter energy systems.”

The new Hyderabad centre is designed to address the energy challenges of Telangana’s rapidly growing hospitality and commercial food sectors. Among the early adopters are popular establishments like The Minerva Coffee Shop and Broadway FoodStories, which have already seen improved efficiency and safety with Pune Gas systems.

Mr. P Vinay Prakash added, “This is the first-of-its-kind centre in Telangana. From cloud kitchens to large manufacturers, every business can now explore solutions that boost profitability while staying sustainable.”

What’s Inside: Innovation Meets Hands-On Experience

The centre features live demonstrations and interactive exhibits of Pune Gas' most innovative offerings, including:

  • LPGenius: A first-of-its-kind smart LPG system made in India, used in thousands of kitchens and industries. It eliminates inefficiencies like cylinder freezing and supports the use of LOT (Liquid Off-Take) 47.5 kg cylinders, offering up to 30% savings on LPG costs.

  • FuelFusion: A dual-fuel kit for diesel generators that allows them to run on a blend of LPG and diesel, reducing diesel consumption and CO₂ emissions.

  • LeakCheck: A high-precision, aesthetic gas leak detection system that ensures safety across industrial and commercial premises.

Visitors can also explore a wide range of basic and advanced gas components, vaporizer systems, and receive tailored consultations to help select the best solutions for their needs.

A Cleaner Future for Commercial Energy Use

Despite India consuming over 30,900 TMT of LPG in FY 2022–23, only 16% goes to the commercial and industrial sectors. Most still rely on polluting fuels like diesel, kerosene, and even wood. Telangana alone has over 1.16 lakh LPG commercial and industrial users—and yet, many still suffer from cylinder freezing, losing 3–4 kg of LPG per cylinder daily.

Systems like LPGenius directly address these pain points, helping users reduce fuel loss, enhance productivity, and improve margins—while keeping pace with tightening environmental norms.

With this expansion into Hyderabad, Pune Gas strengthens its commitment to helping Indian businesses move toward cleaner, more efficient, and future-ready fuel solutions.
