NEW DELHI: GAIL is planning to tie up 7-8 million tonnes per annum of long-term liquefied natural gas (LNG) from diverse sources as it bets big on domestic gas demand and aims to play a leading role in India’s transformation into a gas-based economy, its chairman has said.
“GAIL is committed to ensuring that the domestic demand is well supplied and protected from price shocks. To do the same, GAIL is looking to grow its long-term volumes by at least 50% or 7-8 million metric tonnes per annum in a staggered manner till 2030,” GAIL chairman and managing director Sandeep Kumar Gupta told ET in an interview.
