AVG Logistics on Saturday announced a partnership with Nestlé India and Ashok Leyland to deploy a dedicated green logistics corridor using 50 compressed natural gas (CNG) trucks, according to a regulatory filing.
The CNG fleet will cater exclusively to Nestlé India’s supply chain and is expected to clock around 2.75 lakh kilometres every month. AVG Logistics estimates the initiative will result in an annual reduction of nearly 1.1 lakh kg of carbon dioxide emissions.
The company said the move is aimed at improving fuel efficiency, reducing dependence on conventional fuels, and supporting lower-emission logistics operations. The deployment aligns operational requirements with emission reduction targets across the supply chain.
AVG Logistics acknowledged the role played by Nestlé India’s supply chain and physical logistics teams in implementing the corridor, while Ashok Leyland supported the initiative through the supply of CNG vehicles.
The company added that the partnership is expected to contribute positively to its financial performance by enabling new supply chain solutions and enhancing operational efficiencies. AVG Logistics said it will continue to adopt fuel-efficient and technology-led logistics models across its network as part of its sustainability strategy.
