FAQs

GAIL was the first company in India to pioneer city gas distribution project. In addition to marketing Natural Gas through Trunk and Regional Transmission systems, GAIL has formed joint venture companies to supply gas to households, commercial users and the transport sector. Within the short span of 10 years, GAIL has expanded its CNG business from 1 company (Mahanagar Gas Ltd.) in India to 8 in India and 4 abroad.

Gas supplied by GAIL to retail gas distributors serves more than 3,00,000 automobiles as Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) and over 3,30,000 households as Piped Natural Gas (PNG) in the cities of New Delhi, Mumbai, Vadodara, Vijaywada, Hyderabad, Kanpur, Agra, Lucknow. Our Project Blue Sky is gearing up to execute city gas projects in others cities in India including Pune, Kota, Indore, Gwalior, Ujjain and cities in Kerala and Karnataka through Joint Ventures. We have signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Infosys Technologies to develop City Gas Distribution Software, leveraging the IT Expertise of Infosys and the domain expertise of GAIL.

GAIL's City Gas Distribution initiatives are not confined to India. It has established its presence in the CNG and City Gas arenas in Egypt through equity participation in Fayum Gas, Shell CNG and Natgas; and has acquired a stake in China Gas Holding to pursue CNG opportunities in mainland China. GAIL plans to develop City Gas markets worldwide in collaboration with global oil and gas majors.

GAIL is a founder member of the India CNG Consortium, which provides comprehensive solutions for CNG implementation across the globe.
