Industries, power sector, small and medium enterprises, transport, households and even the co-operatives, all are reaping the benets of natural gas. Gujarat houses Indias only two operating LNG terminals, and has access to multiple domestic gas sources, a Natural Gas Demand-Supply Balance in state-wide gas grid of 2,000 kms and presence of a Gujarat (mmscmd) booming city-gas distribution business across many cities. Both the cross country natural gas transmis80 sion pipelines operating in India cater to Gujarat and 60 so would be three out of four pipelines which would be commissioned in the next 4-5 years. As a result, 40 nearly 33 percent of power generation in Gujarat is gas based compared to a lowly 10 percent of the KG D6 20 Supply national average.

India is rightly sitting on the brink of a natural gas revolution. With more than 70 percent of Indias crude oil needs being fullled by imports, lack of energy densities in renewable energy solutions and the increasing carbon emissions from coal based power plants; natural gas is the most likely energy resource to surge ahead. In this regard, Infraline Energy believes that Gujarat can steer the way for the rest of the nation. Owing to its strategic location, Gujarat is the most favoured destination for future LNG terminals. Three new LNG terminals are proposed to come up in Gujarat in future. Buoyed by the success of transporting more than 35 mmscmd of natural gas, GSPL has set a very aggressive target of connecting all the districts of Gujarat by a 2,200 km strong pipeline network. The Projected Natural Gas Demand in Gujarat (mmscmd) company is also hoping on the possibili19 ties of replicating the Gujarat Gas Grid in the neighbouring state of Rajasthan.
