In 1988, Gujarat Gas Company Limited (GGCL) pioneered the private distribution of Natural Gas in India, through the establishment of an independent network of pipelines in South Gujarat. Today, GGCL pipeline network spans more than 3300 kilometers. GGCL has established its base in one of the most industrialized belts of the country - the Golden Corridor of Gujarat. Specifically, the three cities of Surat, Bharuch, and Ankleshwar form the nucleus of its current operations. GGCL has also extended the network to Jhagadia. The potential for growth derives from the ever-increasing energy demand-supply gap in this economically vibrant area. At present, GGCL is establishing pipeline network in Vapi G.I.D.C. area.
GGCL is sourcing gas from multiple suppliers. Some of the major suppliers include GAIL - A Central Government Organization, GSPC – Gujarat State owned organization, BG EPIL (from its PMT source - a JV organization of ONGC, Reliance and BG Group), Cairn Energy...
