Morbi gets gas go-ahead! - November 9th 2006 (page 2)

"We have already commissioned 126 km of pipelines through which we have started transporting gas to customers. The completed sections include the Hazira-Mora stretch of 15 km, the Amboli-Dahej stretch of 45 km, the stretch between Bhadbhut and Paguthan of 30 km, Mora-Utran (25 km), Suvali-Mora (7 km) and Mora-Interconnector (4km), while another 76 km of pipeline connecting Paguthan to Vadodara is close to commissioning," said C K Koshy, chairman of GSPCL.

"With the entry two major players in the LNG market recently, Shell and LNG Petronet, we are hopeful of earning revenues not only by selling gas being explored by GSPCL but also by letting out our pipeline," he added.

Work is also fast progressing on another 233 km of pipeline sections including Vadodara, Kalol, Ahmedabad and Mora-Sajod sections, which are scheduled for completion within the next one year.

With the gas grid is place, GSPCL is targeting a sales revenue of Rs 3,000 crore at the end of the fiscal year 2005-06 against a sales revenue of Rs 450 crore at the end of last fiscal.
