LNG trucks are increasingly recognised for their potential to reduce GHG emissions compared to traditional diesel trucks and contribute to 90 percent lower particulate matter emissions.

By transitioning from diesel trucks to LNG-powered vehicles, Sterlite Copper has reduced 2.10 tonnes of CO2 equivalent emissions in the fiscal year 2025, it claimed.

Sterlite Copper contributes to 25 percent of India's copper production.
