Over the next two years, I look forward to working closely with our members and partners across the energy ecosystem to strengthen regional engagement, and foster collaboration that drives real-world decarbonisation. Together, I'm confident we can ensure our sector is recognised as a key contributor to a cleaner, more resilient energy future.” Mr Donal Murphy, Chief Executive, DCC plc, and WLGA President

“It is a great honour to be able to serve the WLGA as its Vice President. India’s LPG journey, powered by the Ujjwala Yojana and covering over 99% of Indian households, demonstrates how inclusive policy and strong infrastructure can transform lives. Indian Oil, as the country’s largest LPG marketer, delivers over 2.8 million cylinders daily and serves more than 150 million consumers. Our experience in scaling access and managing logistics holds valuable lessons for the world. I look forward to sharing India’s success story, fostering deeper collaboration, and advancing innovative pathways like bio-LPG and renewable DME to position liquid gas as the fuel of choice in bridging energy gaps and driving equitable progress.” Mr A S Sahney, Chairman, Indian Oil Corporation
