Good morning Paul:

Thanks for your informative post.

<I read in the local newspaper last night that the Indian government is converting a number of steel mills from coal burning to natural gas.>
That coincides well with ATF's pilot project with Maruti (50% owned by the Gov't and 50% owned by Suzuki Corp) and the government's plan to legislate NG use in vehicles mandatory.
From what I understand, an initial order of 2000 Sparrow systems were to follow testing and then the plan was to start conversion on gov't fleet vehicles. Discussions are also underway as well on AFS's Eagle system as well.
No doubt we will hear something soon on the progress in India.
Regards,
Bonnie

Hi Paul:

To further add to my previous post, seven NG stations are already strategically located in New Delhi as of June of this year and there is another one under construction. IMO this in a strong indicator of India's future plans for ng.
Best wishes,
Bonnie
