GAIL India Limited

India’s Leading Natural Gas Transmission & Marketing Company

Natural gas is one of the most important sources of energy in the modern world. It is a clean and efficient fossil fuel primarily composed of methane. Natural gas is widely used for generating electricity, heating homes, and as a fuel for industries and transportation. Compared to other fossil fuels like coal and oil, it produces fewer pollutants and lower carbon emissions. This makes it an important transition fuel in the shift toward cleaner energy systems. Natural gas is transported through an extensive network of pipelines to reach homes, industries, and power plants. Due to its clean-burning properties and the convenience of pipeline-based supply, which eliminates the need for local storage and complex transportation logistics, natural gas has emerged as a preferred fuel worldwide. Its share in the energy mix of many major economies has been steadily increasing.

As the world moves toward sustainable energy, natural gas continues to play a significant role in providing reliable and cleaner energy solutions.

Natural Gas comes in 4 basic forms

LNG

Liquefied Natural Gas

Natural Gas which has been liquefied at - (Minus) 160 degree Centigrade. Natural Gas is liquefied to facilitate transportation in large volumes in cryogenic tankers across seas / land.

RLNG

Regasified Liquefied Natural Gas

LNG Re-gasified at import terminals before transporting it to consumers through Pipelines.

PNG

Piped Natural Gas

Natural Gas distributed through a pipeline network that has safety valves to maintain the pressure, assuring safe, uninterrupted supply to the domestic sector for cooking and heating / cooling applications.

CNG

Compressed Natural Gas

Natural Gas compressed to a pressure of 200-250 kg/cm2 used as fuel for transportation. CNG decreases vehicular pollution on the virtue of being cleaner fuel than liquid fuels.

Usage of Natural Gas

Power Sector

Used as a fuel for base-load power generation in combined cycle and cogeneration power plants, enabling efficient and cleaner electricity production.

Fertilizer Industry

Utilized as a key feedstock in the production of ammonia and urea, which are essential for fertilizer manufacturing.

Industrial Sector

Used as boiler fuel for steam generation and as fuel in furnaces, kilns, and other industrial heating applications.

Domestic & Commercial

Supplied as Piped Natural Gas (PNG) for cooking and heating in households and commercial establishments, offering a safe and convenient energy source.

Automotive Sector

Used as Compressed Natural Gas (CNG), an eco-friendly and cost-effective fuel for vehicles that reduces emissions.

Petrochemical Industry

Serves as a primary raw material for producing various petrochemicals such as methanol, hydrogen, and other chemical derivatives.

Natural Gas Transmission

Natural Gas, a new age fuel is the cleanest, efficient, non-polluting, environmental friendly and relatively economical of the fossil fuel in the modern day industrial society.

Natural Gas Pipeline Infrastructure connects various gas sources to different gas markets to meet the existing/future natural gas demand of various Powers, Fertilizer, CGD and other industries in the Country. The gas pipeline infrastructure has facilitated widespread industrialization and has brought significant socio-economic changes to different parts of the country.

A big challenge lies in bridging the physical gap between demand and supply centers in an efficient, safe and eco-friendly manner. Pipeline transportation of gas offers a safe, economic and environmentally sound alternative to most other modes of energy transport.

The Government recognizes the need to augment the natural gas transmission infrastructure in the country and has been driving the development of natural gas pipeline connecting all regions of the country which is shaping-up into Natural Gas Grid (NGG)

Over the years, GAIL as a major gas pipeline operator has contributed to the growth and development of natural gas pipeline infrastructure and natural gas market. It has an existing 18400+ km. of gas pipeline network with a capacity of 208 MMSCMD. GAIL’s existing natural gas pipeline network covers 20 States (Andhra Pradesh, Assam, Bihar, Goa, Gujarat, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Jharkhand, Karnataka, Kerala, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Odisha, Punjab, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Tripura, Uttar Pradesh Uttarakhand and West Bengal) and 3 UT’s (Delhi, Puducherry & Dadra Nagar Haveli).
