What Gujarat State Petronet does

Gujarat State Petronet Limited (GSPL) was a publicly listed natural gas transmission company promoted by Gujarat State Petroleum Corporation (GSPC), itself a Government of Gujarat undertaking, and operated on a common carrier basis across Gujarat. The company transported natural gas through an approximately 2,800 km pipeline network serving industrial customers (steel, fertilizers, pharmaceuticals, textiles, petrochemicals, automotive, consumer goods), power generators (GUVNL, GSECL), and city gas distribution networks. Named industrial customers included JSW Steel, IFFCO, Torrent Pharmaceuticals, Raymond, Arvind Mills, Colgate-Palmolive India, Reliance Industries, Gujarat Narmada Valley Fertilizers, Suzuki Motor Gujarat, OPaL, Nirma, and Indian Steel Corporation. Gas sourcing, transmission, and distribution economics were regulated by PNGRB on a usage-based tariff model, with volumes of 27.5 mmscmd reported in Q3 FY26 and standalone revenue of Rs 272.19 crore.

Beyond pure transmission, GSPL was part of the integrated GSPC Group spanning E&P, LNG regasification (5 MMTPA terminal at Mundra via GSPC LNG), CGD (42,600+ km network, 22.67 lakh+ households, 828+ CNG stations across 44 districts in 6 states), and power generation (506 MW combined cycle plant at Hazira via GSEG). Joint ventures with BPCL (Sabarmati Gas), HPCL (cross-country pipelines), GAIL (gas supply), ONGC (E&P blocks), and QatarEnergy and Uniper (LNG supply) anchored its upstream-downstream integration. The Government of Gujarat and its PSUs held over 93.62% equity through parent GSPC, providing regulatory backing and policy alignment.

Effective May 1, 2026, GSPL ceased to exist as a separate entity under a composite scheme of arrangement merging GSPC, GSPL, and GSPC Energy Limited into Gujarat Gas Limited (renamed Gujarat Energy Limited), while simultaneously demerging the gas transmission business into a new pure-play entity, GSPL Transmission Limited (GTL). Under the exchange ratio, GSPL shareholders received 10 GGL shares for every 13 GSPL shares held, with 37.29 crore cross-held GSPL shares cancelled. The combined entity began trading on NSE and BSE as GUJGASLTD on June 18, 2026, creating a vertically integrated gas platform spanning E&P, gas trading, transmission, distribution, and power generation.
