Bengaluru Airport City Limited (BACL) on Tuesday announced an agreement with GAIL Gas Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of GAIL (India) Limited, to develop a city gas distribution facility at Bengaluru Airport City, marking a key step toward a cleaner, greener energy ecosystem.

The upcoming facility will feature a Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) station, Piped Natural Gas (PNG) installations, and other clean energy solutions. In addition to fuel services, the station will offer non-fuel retail and convenience amenities for the wider public.

The project aims to support CNG infrastructure for taxis, buses, logistics fleets, and last-mile connectivity vehicles at and around Kempegowda International Airport Bengaluru (BLR Airport). BACL stated that the development will position Bengaluru Airport City as a model for integrating sustainable energy solutions into urban and commercial hubs while enhancing its appeal as a smart, green business destination aligned with global sustainability standards.

BACL, a wholly owned subsidiary of Bangalore International Airport Limited (BIAL), highlighted the facility as a transformative step in advancing India’s clean energy transition. Rao Munukutla, Executive Director and CEO of BACL, noted that the development strengthens the city’s leadership in sustainable urban innovation, adding to Airport City’s IGBC Green Cities Platinum Rating.

Goutom Chakraborty, CEO of GAIL Gas Ltd, said the CNG station will benefit thousands of vehicles, providing convenient access to environmentally friendly and cost-effective natural gas for commuters traveling to and from the airport. GAIL Gas has been authorized by the Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board to implement city gas distribution projects in Bengaluru Urban and Rural Districts. The company supplies PNG to households, industries, and commercial customers, and CNG to vehicles through its stations across the districts.
