GSPL is the only natural gas transmission company in India that operates on an “open access” basis, i.e. it transports gas on behalf of third party shippers in return for a transport fee. GSPL’s existing gas transmission network comprises 1,080 km medium-to-high pressure pipelines connecting natural gas supply points at Hazira and Dahej to consumption points currently covering the districts of Ahmedabad, Anand, Baroda, Bharuch, Gandhinagar and Surat. The majority of GSPL’s customers are power, fertilizer, chemical and steel plants that purchase natural gas directly from suppliers, as well as several local gas distribution companies who supply natural gas to retail consumers.GSPL is continuing with the expansion of its gas transmission network in Gujarat. It plans to expand its network by about 800 km over the next 3 years, including: - the BJPL project, which consists a 190 km loop line from Bhadbhut to Hadala and a 110 km extension from Rajkot to Jamnagar; - a 46km extension of the transmission line from Baroda to Godhra; - the construction of a 225 km pipeline from Dhandhuka to Jafrabad; and - a 225 km extension of the pipeline from Morbi to Mundra.
