India’s Tata Steel has signed a natural gas supply agreement with GAIL, the country’s largest natural gas company. The deal marks the largest industrial customer onboarding since the launch of GAIL’s city gas distribution networks in Varanasi, Patna, Ranchi, East Singhbhum, Cuttack, and Khordha.
Under the agreement, GAIL will supply 31,000 standard cubic meters per day (SCMD) of natural gas to Tata Steel’s combi-mill plant in Jamshedpur, with volumes set to rise to 43,000 SCMD over time. GAIL said the deal underscores its commitment to supporting India’s industrial transition toward cleaner, more efficient operations.
