Adequate supply of affordable energy is a pre-requisite for sustained growth, especially in the developing and emerging economies. Natural gas has emerged as most benign fuel in this regard.

 Natural Gas is a new age fuel. With only one carbon and four hydrogen atoms per molecule, Natural Gas has the lowest carbon to hydrogen ratio, hence it burns completely, making it the cleanest of fossil fuels. Natural Gas satisfies most of the requirements for fuel in a modern day industrial society, being efficient, non-polluting and relatively economical. The periodic uncertainties and volatility in both the price and supply of oil, have also helped Natural Gas emerge as a major fuel in the energy basket across countries.
 

Sector			Natural Gas is used
Generation of electricity by utilities			As fuel for base load power plants In combined cycle/co-generation power plants
Fertilizer Industry			As feed stock in the production of ammonia and urea
Industrial			As an under boiler fuel for raising steam As fuel in furnaces and heating applications
Domestic and commercia			For heating of spaces and water For cooking
Automotive			As a non-polluting fuel
Petrochemicals			As the raw material from which a variety of chemical products e.g. methanol, are derived

Natural Gas comes in 4 basic forms:
 

• Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) - 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 sea.
• Regasified Liquefied Natural Gas (RLNG) – LNG Re-gasified before transporting it to consumers through Pipelines.
• Compressed Natural gas, CNG - 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.
• Piped Natural gas, PNG - 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.

India’s natural gas scenario is undergoing rapid changes and gas is poised to occupy a significant share in the energy mix. In order to diversify energy

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:

Since inception in 1984, GAIL has been the undisputed leader in the marketing, transmission and distribution of Natural Gas in India. As India's leading Natural Gas Major, it has been instrumental in the development of the Natural Gas market in the country. 

Currently, GAIL sells around 65 % of Natural Gas sold in the country. Of this, 31.3% is to the power sector and 31.5% to the fertilizer sector. Currently, GAIL is supplying around 59 MMSCMD of Natural Gas from domestic sources to customers across India. These customers range from the smallest of companies to mega power and fertilizer plants. GAIL has adopted a Gas Management System to handle multiple sources of supply and delivery of gas in a co-mingled form and provide a seamless interface between shippers, customers, transporters and suppliers. We are present in 16 states, i.e., Gujarat, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh, Delhi, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Uttranchal, Goa, Punjab, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, Assam, and Tripura. We are further extending our coverage to states of West Bengal, Jharkhand and Bihar through our upcoming pipelines.

We are also actively pursuing opportunities in inter-regional gas trade both in the form of Pipeline gas and LNG.

GAIL has signed 25 Master Sales Purchase Agreements with all reputed LNG suppliers including BG, SHELL, Total etc under which GAIL imports spot LNG cargoes from time to time. GAIL has also procured around 1.25 MMTPA LNG from suppliers like Marubeni, GDF and GNF and the same is being marketed to downstream consumers.

GAIL has been successful in securing LNG under long term agreements from suppliers like Sabine Pass, US, Dominion Cove USA as well as Gazprom, Russia. GAIL's imported volumes are from US Sabine Pass Project (3.5 MMTPA); US Dominion Cove Point (2.3 MMTPA); and Gazprom Shtokman LNG project (2.5 MMTPA) for which supplies are expected to commence during 2018-2020. Further discussions are underway with other suppliers also from countries like US, Qatar, Algeria, Mozambique, Nigeria etc for securing additional volumes.

GAIL is marketing Gas Processing Unit’s (GPU’s) products namely Liquefied Petroleum Gases (LPG), Propane, Pentane, Naphtha and by-products of polymer plant namely MFO, Propylene & Hydrogenated C4 Mix. LPG is being sold exclusively to PSU Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) while other products are sold directly to customers in Retail segment.
 

GAIL is India's major producer of Propane, popularly known as GAIL Propane. It is an eco-friendly fuel and provides an effective way of reducing pollution and increasing productivity.
GAIL produces and markets Pentane. It is primarily being used for reprocessing into iso, normal & commercial pentane used in EPS, PU, LAB industry.
Naphtha is primarily used by Power, Fertiliser, Steel and Petrochemical Units. In Power, Steel units it is used as a fuel, whereas in Petrochemical, Chemical, Fertiliser units it is used as a feedstock.

 
GAIL is presently operating 7 Gas Processing Units (GPU) located at Vijaipur (2 Units),  Auraiya, Vaghodia, Usar, Lakwa & Gandhar plant for production of LPG and GCU at Pata plant for production of Polymer. In the process of production of main products viz. LPG & Polymer through GPU/GCU except Usar, the following by-products- Liquid Hydrocarbons (LHC) are produced:

Propane is the most preferred fuel all over the world due to its diverse applications in industrial, domestic, commercial and auto sector, as fuel and refrigerant.

Propane is an eco-friendly fuel which provides an effective way of reducing pollution and increasing productivity. Our Patrons also call it a "Fuel of Great Value" because of its customer-friendly features.

Pentane is produced by processing Natural Gasoline Liquid (NGL) through fractionation in Gas Processing Units (GPUs). Pentane is primarily being reprocessed into iso, normal & commercial pentane, as well as, solvents which is used in EPS, PU, LAB industry.
