By Our Corporate Bureau | 10 Dec 2007
Following media reports regarding the impact of the award of marketing rights of Pann-Mukta-Tapti gas to GAIL on consumers in Gujarat, the company has said that the interest of the end consumer of the PMT gas in all regions including Gujarat would be upheld.
GAIL says the PMT gas would be supplied by GAIL in accordance with the 'gas utilisation policy' and the interests of city gas consumers and users of gas for feedstock like fertilisers, power, and petrochemicals would continue to receive priority attention. In view of the importance of city gas projects, these would continue to be given ''high priority''.
Moreover, in addition to its own network, GAIL says it would be using the available transportation network of other companies in the state to market its natural gas to consumers in Gujarat.
GAIL said that out of the total availability of 99.38 MMSCMD natural gas in the country, consumers in Gujarat get around 38.25 MMSCMD at present, or 38.5 per cent of the country's total. All on-shore gas produced in Gujarat is supplied to consumers in Gujarat only, it added.
