GAIL has contracts for procuring LNG volumes from USA under two long term Sales and Purchase Agreements signed with US energy majors. The vessel will ship clean LNG fuel from the US Gulf Coast to India, for meeting the country's energy requirement and also to other markets globally.

GAIL is ranked no. 1 gas pipeline company in India and among the top gas utilities in Asia. The company's business activities range from Gas Transmission and Marketing to Processing (for fractionating LPG, Propane, Naphtha and Pentane); transmission of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG); production and marketing of Petrochemicals like HDPE and LLDPE. The company has extended its presence in Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) re-gasification, City Gas Distribution, Exploration & Production, solar and wind power generation. GAIL currently holds a LNG portfolio of about 14 MMTPA from various long and short-term contracts. The company is also committed to LNG trading globally.
