GAIL
GAIL (India) Ltd. is the country’s largest gas distribution and transmission company with a pipeline network of around 7,000 kms and with a capacity to carry 150 million standard cubic metres per day (MMSCMD) of natural gas. It operates in the gas transmission, gas trading, LPG & other liquid hydrocarbons, LPG transmission, petrochemicals and telecommunications segments. The company’s HBJ pipeline is the lifeline for major gas consumers ranging from power to fertilizer sectors.
In FY09, GAIL managed to grow its net sales by 33% YoY despite pressure on realisations. This was led by the company’s natural gas trading business, which reported a growth of 45% YoY during the year. It transmitted around 83.3 million metric standard cubic meters per day (mmscmd) of natural gas. Further, it achieved natural gas sales of 79.1 mmscmd. The other two key businesses of ‘petrochemicals’ and ‘LPG & liquid hydrocarbons’ recorded lackluster performances, growing their sales by just around 6% YoY and 12% YoY during the year.
GAIL has planned a capital expenditure of Rs 300 bn in the next 3 years and has already committed Rs 110 bn. While 80% investment will be in its core business of pipelines, 20% of the investment will be in exploration and production, city gas distribution and petrochemicals. The company has 5,000 kms of pipelines work in progress. The company’s transmission capacity will go up to 200 mmscmd by the end of FY10 and 300 mmscmd by the end of FY12. As a result, the company expects transmission revenue to go up 3 times.
