Assam Gas Company

What Assam Gas Company does

Assam Gas Company Limited (AGCL) is a Government of Assam undertaking incorporated on March 31, 1962, that operates as a city gas distribution (CGD) and multi-energy retail company headquartered in Duliajan, Dibrugarh district, Assam. The company's core business is natural gas transmission and distribution through three product lines: Piped Natural Gas (PNG) supplied to domestic, commercial, and industrial consumers via pipeline networks; Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) for vehicles retailed through company-owned and Oil Marketing Company (OMC) co-located outlets; and Multi-Fuel Retail Outlets offering motor spirit (petrol), high-speed diesel (HSD), CNG, and lubricants across Assam, Nagaland, Manipur, Meghalaya, and Arunachal Pradesh. As of February 2026, AGCL served 47,000+ domestic consumers, 1,098 commercial establishments, 433+ industrial consumers, and operated 10 retail outlets spanning 13+ locations across Upper Assam.

AGCL's revenue model is usage-based and transaction-based: domestic PNG is billed at ₹33.60/SCM, commercial PNG at ₹42.43/SCM, and CNG at ₹82.08/KG (effective July 2026), with district-specific variation. Industrial gas is supplied on bulk contract terms (e.g., Patanjali Ayurveda at ~5,000 SCM/day at Tezpur). The company has built supporting proprietary digital infrastructure including IoT-enabled industrial gas meter monitoring, automatic meter reading (AMR) systems, cathodic protection monitoring for pipelines, GPS-based fleet management, and an AI-powered postpaid gas meter reading extractor with edge computing, developed through MoUs with IIT Guwahati and C-DAC. The company operates three CNG mother stations (Duliajan, Dibrugarh, and a planned Hazarigaon facility) feeding a retail CNG network.

AGCL's go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales for industrial and commercial PNG customers (tea estates, factories, Patanjali Ayurveda, Numaligarh Refinery, Namrup Thermal Power Station) with company-owned and OMC co-located (BPCL, IOCL, HPCL) retail outlets for CNG and multi-fuel distribution. The firm holds ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, and ISO 45001:2018 certifications and is pursuing PNGRB-authorized geographic expansion of CGD operations and multi-fuel retail footprint across five North Eastern states, with targets of 70 CNG stations by 2027 and 120 multi-fuel outlets authorized. AGCL is wholly owned by the Government of Assam and operates under regulatory authorization from PNGRB and MOPNG.

Others

• ONGC (Oil and Natural Gas Corporation): ONGC is India's largest upstream oil and gas producer and directly supplies gas to AGCL's Silchar operations. While not a competitor, ONGC is a critical supplier whose pricing and production decisions directly impact AGCL's cost structure.

Direct peers

• Bhagyanagar Gas Limited: Bhagyanagar Gas is a CGD company serving Hyderabad and surrounding areas with PNG and CNG operations. It is a direct peer to AGCL with similar customer segments (domestic, commercial, industrial, transport) and regulatory framework.
• Indraprastha Gas Limited: Indraprastha Gas is India's largest CGD player serving Delhi NCR with PNG and CNG. It operates under the same regulatory framework as AGCL (PNGRB), serves the same customer segments (domestic, commercial, industrial, transport), and shares the same revenue model (usage-based PNG + CNG retail).
• Mahanagar Gas Limited: Mahanagar Gas is one of India's leading city gas distribution companies supplying PNG and CNG to Mumbai and surrounding areas. It is the closest direct peer to AGCL in terms of business model (PNG domestic/commercial/industrial + CNG retail) and regulatory framework under PNGRB.
