GAIL likely to buy 50% stake in AP Gas Distribution Corp

20 Jul 2011 Evaluate

Gas Authority of India (GAIL), country's largest gas transmission and marketing company is likely to acquire 50% stake in Andhra Pradesh Gas Distribution Corporation (APGDC), a wholly-owned subsidiary of AP Gas Infrastructure Corporation (APGIC). This MoU is expected to be signed before July end. The total paid up capital of APGDC is Rs 10 crore and there may be some premium also for the stake. 

According to the Petroleum & Natural Gas Regulatory Board rules, the companies which are bidding for the city's gas distribution network contracts should have experience of laying at least 300 km of gas network or should have three engineers on payrolls who participated in creation of similar network. If the move is successful, APGIC which was set up with an intention to create gas transportation infrastructure, will be eligible to participate in the bids for creating gas distribution networks in the country.

GAIL has already entered into tie-ups with state entities in Karnataka and Kerala for city gas distribution and is said to be in talks with entities in various states, including Rajasthan, Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu.
