OSAKA -- Osaka Gas plans to spend a total of $3 billion to get its business of selling natural gas in India into full gear.

A Singapore-affiliated company, partly owned by the Osaka-based city gas supplier, has recently begun selling gas for automobiles and manufacturing plants in India. It will build infrastructures, such as 150 gas relay stations in the country by 2030, to boost gas sales.
