GAIL

GAIL (India) established on August 16, 1984, was erstwhile known as the Gas Authority of India Limited. It was incorporated to create gas sector infrastructure for the continued development in the natural gas sector in India. It is India's flagship natural gas company that integrates all the aspects of the natural gas value chain, which also includes the exploration & production, and processing, and transmission, distribution and marketing, and another similar service. The 2800–km Hazira–Vijaipur–Jagdishpur (HVJ) pipeline already became operational in the year 1991. And during 1991–93, the three LPG plants were constructed, and some regional pipelines were acquired, enabling GAIL to begin its geographical gas distribution across the country. Soon this company began its city gas distribution in Delhi in the year 1997 by setting up approximately nine CNG stations and catering to the city's vast public transport fleet. Then in 1999, GAIL set up only Northern India's petrochemical plant at Pata. It soon became the first Infrastructure Provider Category II Licensee & then signed the country's first Service Level Agreement for leasing the bandwidth in the Delhi–Vijaipur sector in 2001 via its telecom business GAILTEL. And in 2001, the GAIL commissioned the World's longest and India's first cross country LPG Transmission Pipeline from the Jamnagar to Loni. Now, the company has reached its new milestones with its strategic diversification in various categories such as petrochemicals, telecom, and liquid hydrocarbons, and besides them gas infrastructure too. It has sufficiently extended its presence in power, liquefied natural gas regasification, city gas distribution, and exploration & production via equity and joint ventures participations. By incorporating the new–found energy into its corporate identity, the Gas Authority of India was renamed as GAIL (India) Limited as on November 22, 2002. Currently, it is also expanding its business to become a player in the international market. In a rapidly changing scenario, the company is spearheading the move to an entirely new era of the clean fuel industrialization by creating a quadrilateral of the green energy corridors that connects the major consumption centers in India with major gas fields, LNG terminals, and other cross border gas sourcing points.
