Oil Ministry moves Cabinet note for splitting GAIL

05 Feb 2020 Evaluate

The Oil Ministry has moved a cabinet note seeking approval for hiving off GAIL’s (India) pipeline business into a separate entity for a possible sale to a strategic investor at a later date.

The Ministry last month floated a note for consideration of the Union Cabinet for transferring the pipeline business into a 100 per cent subsidiary. The proposal involves separating the accounts of the pipeline division as well as transferring employees directly connected with the pipeline operations to the new subsidiary.

The Cabinet is likely to consider the proposal shortly. After the Cabinet approval, a consultant will be appointed to transfer the pipeline business into a separate subsidiary. This would take 8-10 months to accomplish.

GAIL India is India’s principal Natural Gas Company with activities ranging from Gas Transmission and Marketing to Processing (for fractionating LPG, Propane, SBP Solvent and Pentane); transmission of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG); production and marketing of Petrochemicals like HDPE and LLDPE and leasing bandwidth in Telecommunications.
