GAIL enters into transmission deal with Reliance Gas

MUMBAI: GAIL India and Reliance Gas Transportation Infrastructure have entered into an agreement for transmission of natural gas from the Krishna-Godavari basin.

The agreement provides for transportation of natural gas from the exploration block located in the Krishna-Godavari basin in the east coast of India through GAIL's network and for booking of capacity by GAIL in RGTIL's East-West pipeline.

GAIL currently has a network of 6,700 km with transmission capacity of about 150 million metric standard cubic meter per day. The utilisation of the pipeline asset will be increased by such arrangement. Reliance Gas is laying a 48 inch, 1,400 km long East-West pipeline from Kakinada to Gujarat.
