What Are Gas Generators on Rent and How Do They Work?
A gas generator, also called a gas genset or gas DG set, pairs a spark-ignited gas engine with an alternator. The engine burns a gas-air mixture, turns the alternator, and produces three-phase power, usually at 415 V and 50 Hz in India. Controls, a gas train with regulators and safety valves, and an acoustic canopy or enclosure complete the set.
With Gas Generators on Rent, you use the equipment for a fixed period and return it afterwards. This suits projects with limited duration, seasonal demand, planned shutdowns, grid-connection delays, or a trial of gas power before a purchase decision.
A rated output in kVA is not the same as kW. kVA is apparent power; kW is real power, which depends on the power factor. Always size against the kW load and starting requirements, then match to the kVA rating.
Fuel Types for Gas Generators on Rent
The fuel decides whether a gas set is practical at your site. The table below gives general industry information; Vardhman confirms the fuels and models available for each enquiry.
| Fuel | Typical supply | Points to check |
|---|
| Natural gas (PNG) | City gas or industrial pipeline | Pipeline presence, supply pressure, flow capacity, connection approvals |
| CNG | Cascades or bulk cylinders | Storage space, refill logistics, pressure reduction |
| LPG | Cylinders or bulk tanks | Storage safety distances, vaporisation at higher loads |
| Biogas | Digesters and treatment plants | Gas quality, moisture and contaminant treatment, a stable supply |
Diesel-gas dual-fuel sets, where gas replaces part of the diesel, are a different category from engines that run purely on gas. Mention which one you need when you enquire.
Gas Generators on Rent: Capacity and Selection Parameters
Vardhman states a generator capacity range of 58 kVA to 2,000 kVA, subject to equipment availability and exact model configuration. Not every capacity, brand or fuel is available in gas form, so the table lists what to decide before requesting a quotation. Fleet brands referenced by the company include Cummins, Kirloskar, Mahindra Powerol, Jakson, Ashok Leyland and Caterpillar; availability depends on the capacity and fuel requested.
| Parameter | What to define |
|---|
| Load in kW and kVA | Running load, starting load of motors, expected growth |
| Duty | Standby, prime or continuous operation, and daily running hours |
| Fuel | PNG, CNG, LPG or biogas, with pressure and flow available at the point of use |
| Voltage and phase | Typically three-phase, 415 V, 50 Hz |
| Site conditions | Altitude, ambient temperature, ventilation, noise limits |
| Control | Manual start, auto-start with ATS panel, or synchronisation needs |
| Duration | Short-term or long-term hire |
Gas engines can lose output at high altitude or high ambient temperature, and they respond to sudden large load steps differently from diesel engines. Share motor sizes and load sequences so the set is sized correctly.
Gas Generators on Rent vs Diesel Generators on Rent
Both types serve backup and temporary power. The right choice depends on fuel access, regulation, and the load pattern.
| Factor | Gas generator | Diesel generator |
|---|
| Fuel | Pipeline, CNG, LPG or biogas | Diesel from tanks or tankers |
| Fuel theft and storage | Reduced diesel handling on site | Tank storage and theft control needed |
| Exhaust | Generally lower particulate emissions | Higher particulate emissions without controls |
| Fuel availability | Requires gas supply at the site | Available almost anywhere |
| Sudden heavy loads | May need careful sizing | Well suited to large load steps |
If your site has no gas supply, diesel sets are usually the practical option. Vardhman's Diesel Generators on Rent page covers that offering.
Gas Generators on Rent and Emission Regulations
Emission rules for generator sets in India are set by the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change and enforced through Central Pollution Control Board certification. Since 2016, the standards earlier applied to diesel engines up to 800 kW have also covered gas and dual-fuel engines, and a 2022 notification (GSR 804(E)) set common norms for new gensets up to 800 kW across fuels.
In the Delhi NCR, the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) regulates DG set operation during periods under the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP). Its schedules have listed generator sets running purely on LPG, natural gas, biogas, propane or butane as having no restrictions, including during GRAP periods. Diesel-only sets face limits.
This is not a promise of exemption from every rule. Orders are revised, state and local requirements differ, and compliance also depends on the specific equipment and how it is operated. Check the latest CAQM and state pollution control board orders for your site, and discuss compliance documents with Vardhman when you enquire.
Applications and Industries for Gas Generators on Rent
- Manufacturing and process units: Plants with a piped gas connection can use gas sets for backup or for temporary capacity during shutdowns, line expansion or grid upgrades. Share load profiles so motors with high starting current are accounted for.
- Commercial buildings, malls and offices: Sites that need dependable power in NCR can look at gas sets where gas is available and noise limits apply. A canopy and a good exhaust layout matter in occupied buildings.
- Hospitals and healthcare facilities: Continuity needs are high, so auto-start, ATS integration and a reliable gas supply are the main points to settle before hire.
- Hotels, hospitality and banquet venues: Events and peak seasons need temporary power. Gas sets can reduce diesel storage in busy premises.
- Construction and infrastructure projects: Most remote sites lack gas pipelines, so CNG or LPG logistics must be planned. Diesel may be more practical for early-stage work.
- Food processing, cold storage and warehouses: Continuous refrigeration load and long running hours make fuel supply and maintenance planning important.
- Biogas and waste-to-energy sites: Plants producing biogas can enquire about gas sets suited to that fuel, subject to gas quality checks.
How to Select Gas Generators on Rent?
- Confirm gas availability. Establish the fuel, the supply pressure and the flow that the site can provide at the generator location.
- Calculate the load. Add running loads, then account for motor starting currents and any planned expansion. Convert to kW and kVA correctly.
- Define the duty cycle. Standby, prime and continuous operation have different sizing and maintenance needs.
- Check site conditions. Consider altitude, temperature, ventilation, noise limits and space for the set and gas connection.
- Plan the electrical interface. Decide on an ATS panel, cabling, earthing and any synchronisation needs.
- Match regulation. Confirm which emission and operating rules apply in your city and sector.
- Set the duration. Short-term and long-term rentals are commercially different.
Gas Generators on Rent: Pricing and Quotation Factors
Vardhman does not publish fixed rates. Rental charges depend on the equipment, rental duration, usage requirements and the agreed contract. Rates are quoted client by client.
The following typically influence a quotation:
- Capacity in kVA and the engine make
- Fuel type and the gas connection arrangement
- Rental period and expected running hours
- Delivery location and transportation
