GAIL Seals The Deal: 10-Year LNG Supply Coming To India Via Vitol
Get ready for a long-term gas power boost! GAIL (India) Limited and Oil India Limited (OIL) have officially extended their existing Gas Sale and Purchase Agreement (GSPA) for another 15 years, starting July 1, 2025. The agreement, signed in New Delhi, ensures the supply of up to 900,000 Standard Cubic Meters per Day (SCMD) of natural gas from OIL’s Bakhri Tibba Block in Rajasthan, covering the Dandewala, Tanot, and Bagi Tibba fields. Executives from both Maharatna CPSEs—Sumit Kishore, ED (Marketing-Gas), GAIL, and Ranjan Goswami, ED (BD), OIL—signed the deal, showcasing their strong collaboration on India’s energy mission.
Get ready, Rajasthan! The natural gas sourced under this mega deal will power M/s Rajasthan Rajya Vidyut Utpadan Nigam Limited (RRVUNL)—the state’s very own power generation utility. That means your lights, fans, and ACs could soon be running on more reliable, cleaner, homegrown energy. GAIL says this 15-year pact reflects a strong commitment- by both GAIL and OIL- to strengthening India’s energy security and making natural gas more accessible across the country. At a time when India is doubling down on its clean energy goals, this deal is more than just numbers—it’s about delivering stable power, reducing imports, and energizing local communities. Public-sector teamwork like this is fueling the next chapter of India’s energy story- So, quite literally!
