Gail-Oil India deal: Oil India Ltd to sell natural gas for 15 years; will supply 9 lakh standard cubic metres a day
As per the Gas Sale and Purchase Agreement (GSPA), effective from July 1, Oil India will supply up to 9,00,000 standard cubic metres of natural gas per day from its Bakhri Tibba block to a power plant operated by Rajasthan Rajya Vidyut Utpadan Nigam Ltd (RRVUNL).
Gail will handle the transportation through its 16,421-km gas pipeline network.
The agreement was signed on Wednesday at Gail's corporate office in Delhi by Ranjan Goswami, executive director (business development) at Oil India, and Sumit Kishore, executive director (gas Marketing) at Gail.
In a joint statement, both firms said the deal reflects their continued commitment to maximising the value of domestic gas through production, transportation and distribution.
"This agreement highlights the dedication of both Maharatna central public sector enterprises (CPSEs) in production, transportation and distribution of gas available from domestic gas fields," the OIL press statement said.
Oil India,country's second largest state oil and gas producer, reiterated its focus on expanding its upstream operations across India, while Gail said it continues to play a critical role in gas monetisation.
Gail currently transports 127 million standard cubic metres of gas per day and is working on several pipeline projects to widen its reach further.
Apart from transportation, Gail also operates a gas-based petrochemical plant in Pata, Uttar Pradesh, and manages an LNG portfolio of 16.56 million tonnes per annum, making up 61% of India's total LNG imports.

The management lowered its FY26 pipeline volume guidance to 127-128 mmscmd from 138-139 mmscmd, citing Q1 weakness. However, it retained FY26 marketing profit-before-tax (Pbt) guidance at ₹4,000-₹4,500 crore. ALSO READ | Analysts on Gail Q1 earnings Emkay Global said that Gail's standalone Ebitda and net profit missed estimates by 12 per cent and 16 per cent, though broadly in line with consensus expectations. The earnings miss was driven by a 31 per cent shortfall in marketing Ebitda, along with weaker performance in the petrochemical and unallocated segments, it said in a note. On the positive side, gas transmission and LPG segments outperformed, aided by a ₹130 crore claim settlement in the transmission business. The outlook for the petrochemical segment remains cautious, with no profitability guidance provided for FY26, Emkay said. Emkay has cut FY26-27 earnings per share (EPS) estimates by 5-6 per cent. The March 2027 target price has been lowered by 5 per cent to ₹210, maintaining a 'Buy' rating on the stock. JM Financial noted that Gail's petrochemical segment underperformed due to negative operating leverage from a maintenance shutdown, while earnings from the LPG and other hydrocarbons (OHC) segment also came in below expectations. JM Financial maintains a 'Buy' rating with a revised target price of ₹220, citing the likely near-term tariff hike in the gas transmission business and a healthy 5-6 per cent CAGR in transmission volumes over the medium to long term. The brokerage also expects gas trading profitability to remain robust in the near to medium term. Antique Stock Broking maintained its 'Hold' rating with a target price of ₹185. The brokerage believes the Street may be overestimating the value of Gail's pipeline business and the scalability of its trading earnings.
