GAIL India, the country’s flagship natural gas company, will spin off its marketing business into a separate firm from April 1 to comply with the policy guidelines outlined by the petroleum regulator. GAIL India will remain a gas transmission company and will construct cross-country pipelines to transport gas, while GAIL Gas (GGL) will carry out marketing business. GGL will be listed on the domestic bourses soon.
GAIL already has separated accounts for transportation and marketing businesses. Now, the two entities (GAIL India and GGL) will be legally separated from next financial year. All allied businesses such as petrochemicals and telecom will remain under GAIL India.
The policy guidelines drawn up by the Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board require splitting of the company’s gas transportation activity from its marketing and trading business. The aim is to curb the ability of integrated companies like GAIL to cross-subsidise its activities, leading to unfair competition.crackcrack
