Gas Authority of India (GAIL) has set out a robust expansion strategy to increase its gas transmission volumes to 133-134 mmscmd by FY27.
This growth is backed by securing additional regasification capacity with multiple terminal operators and expanding its own Dabhol LNG facility to 10-12 MMTPA. GAIL's current regasification capacity includes 2.5 MMTPA at Dahej, 1.5 MMTPA at Dhamra, and 2.5 MMTPA at Dabhol, totalling 6.5 MMTPA. However, with new LNG contracts on the horizon, GAIL is seeking additional capacity through strategic partnerships with terminal operators.
The planned capacity increase aims to address expected demand growth in India's industrial, power, and city gas sectors. Rakesh Kumar Jain, GAIL's CFO, highlighted that this expansion will offset temporary disruptions in FY26 caused by monsoon damage and delayed refinery connectivity.
