India has been voted as the largest potential NGV market in the world today. In order to tap this potential a lot of global investors are attracted to invest in this sector. In order to accelerate the development process of this sector, innovative global marketing forums such as “NGV India 2009” play a crucial role.
Mr. David Aitken, Managing Director, Bangkok Exhibition Services Ltd.

In order to address this, we have been partnering with like minded organizations globally to showcase the innovative solutions from across the world. Over the past few years of developing NGV events in Asia we have managed to generate and create increased productive engagement among the various participants and we seek to continue this development through the results of NGV India 2009”.
Dr. U. D. Choubey, Chairman, Managing Director of GAIL (India) Limited and Chairman, GAIL Gas Limited remarked that, “GAIL has been at the forefront of solutions that are beneficial to the people.
