Natural Gas infrastructure being operated by GAIL is providing ready market access to domestic producers, connecting LNG terminals with demand centers, making gas available to customers including those who are remotely located, facilitating development of gas fields which are scattered and devoid of market access.

Besides, pipeline network has enabled introduction of CNG/City gas in cities like Delhi, Agra-Ferozabad, Mathura, Mumbai, etc thereby reducing alarming pollution levels in these cities.

GAIL has successfully implemented a sophisticated, centralized Gas Management System (GMS) and is effectively using it for natural gas transportation through all Trunk Pipeline networks across India.
