Our Story
We come from an agricultural family. When LPG bottling opened to private operators we went into it, first as Vindhya Gas and later as M K Gastech — and thirty years on, we are still bottling in Palakkad.
M K Gastech comes from a farming family. The group still farms and runs other businesses alongside the bottling plants.
India's Parallel Marketing Scheme opened LPG to private operators in 1993. Supply in Kerala was behind demand at the time, and in 1995 the group began bottling as Vindhya Gas Private Limited, founded by Davis Manuel.
M K Gastech Private Limited was incorporated in 2005. Its first plant at Vannamada began operating in 2007, and Manuel Davis took charge as Managing Director in 2017. A second plant at Moongilmada opened in 2024, running entirely on solar power.
The company bottles under contract for Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited and TotalEnergies.
