With all statutory authorisations and certifications in order, KR Fuels is now ready to roll out these kits across India.

Sharing his excitement, Suyash Gupta, Director General, Indian Auto LPG Coalition, said, “We are thrilled to witness KR Fuels receiving approval for two-wheelers Auto LPG retrofitment on BS4 vehicles. This significant milestone not only underscores the potential of Auto LPG as a cleaner, greener alternative to conventional fuels but also represents a crucial step towards reducing vehicular emissions across India. With over 25 million two-wheelers in Tamil Nadu alone, the impact on air quality could be substantial. Moreover, we urge the government to consider reducing the GST on these kits from the current 28% to 5%, which would make them more accessible to consumers and bolster the Make in India initiative. This approval is a testament to the dedication and innovation at KR Fuels and the resilience of Auto LPG industry in India. We look forward to seeing the positive environmental and economic impacts unfold.”

KR Fuels has already commenced production, with an initial batch of 8000 tanks ready for distribution. The company operates 73 auto LPG stations and seven retrofitment centres across Tamil Nadu, ensuring that customers have easy access to these eco-friendly conversion kits. The kits are priced between Rs 9,500 and Rs 10,500, with the all-inclusive cost coming to around Rs 15,500.
