Is a GAIL CNG Pump Dealership a Profitable Business in 2025?

Namaste to all, Hope you’re all doing well! I’ve been thinking about venturing into the fuel business, and with the growing popularity of eco-friendly options like CNG (Compressed Natural Gas), I’m interested in exploring GAIL’s CNG pump dealership opportunities under their City Gas Distribution (CGD) network. It seems like a promising field, especially with more vehicle owners switching to CNG for its cost-effectiveness and environmental benefits. But before I take the plunge, I want to make sure I fully understand the financials and practical aspects of running such a business in 2025.

Could someone help me break down the profit margins, initial investment, and operational costs involved in setting up and running a GAIL CNG pump? How does the ROI compare to traditional petrol or diesel pumps? I’m also curious about how factors like government policies, location, and local demand can impact the profitability of a CNG station. Are there any specific challenges or risks that I should be aware of before investing my time and money into this?

If anyone here has experience running a GAIL CNG pump, I’d love to hear your thoughts. What are the key benefits of this business, and what hurdles did you face along the way? Any advice or insights from those who’ve been through this journey would be incredibly valuable. Thanks so much in advance for your help - I’m looking forward to learning from your experiences!
