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

Natural Gas Pipeline Infrastructure connects various gas sources to different gas markets to the meet the existing/ future natural gas demand of various Powers, Fertilizer, CGD and other industries in the Country. The gas pipeline infrastructure has not only developed the much needed industrialization but all brought socio-economic changes in the major regions from where the gas pipeline passes.

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 and Regulator also recognize the need to augment the natural gas transmission infrastructure in the country and has provided continual support towards development of natural gas pipeline which is shaping-up into Natural Gas Grid (NGG).

Over the years, GAIL as a major pipeline operator has contributed to the growth and development of natural gas pipeline infrastructure and natural gas market and has existing 10,977 Kms. of robust gas pipeline infrastructure with a capacity of 210 MMSCMD. GAIL’s existing natural gas pipeline network has Pan- India presence and covers 16 States (AP, Assam, Delhi, Goa, Gujarat, Haryana, Karnataka, Kerala, MP, Maharashtra, Punjab, Rajasthan, TN, Tripura, Uttarakhand, & U.P.) and 2 UT’s (Puducherry & Dadra Nagar Haveli).

Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, in the year 2007, authorized five new pipelines to GAIL covering a length of over 5,200 km.

GAIL‘s existing pipeline network has following pipelines:
