Sops to gas pipelines to benefit GAIL

07 Jul 2009 Evaluate

The Government’s decision to extend investment-linked tax incentives to oil and gas pipelines would substantially benefit GAIL (India) Ltd. GAIL has already rolled out a Rs 22,000-crore investment roadmap on revamping the existing pipelines, enhancing capacities and setting up new pipelines. Of the total, financial commitments to the tune of Rs 12,000 crore were made.

 

Among the major projects, GAIL is enhancing the capacity of its HBJ pipeline. Trunk pipelines connecting Southern India have been proposed. The Gujarat-based transporter GSPL will also be eligible for tax benefits. The company will invest about Rs 5,000 crore in its pipeline network.

 

Among the oil companies IndianOil – having over 10,000 km of pipeline network – is expecting tax sops. The company is expecting some benefits on proposed pipelines connecting the upcoming Paradip refinery. Cairn India which is currently laying a 600-km pipeline to evacuate the oil from Barmer to coastal Gujarat may also benefit. The estimated cost of the project is $900 million.
