COVID-19 Impact


The Covid-19 pandemic had far-reaching implications for all businesses, small or large. GAIL, too, like other businesses, was impacted by the onset of the pandemic. Before the outbreak of the pandemic, GAIL sold over 113 million cubic metres of fuel per day. Once the lockdown came into effect, the demand for the same went down by half. However, when the restrictions were lifted, consumption slowly rose again and, in a couple of months, reached 95% of the former levels of demand. Since then, GAIL has managed to make a full recovery.

Future Prospects


The future prospects of GAIL include:
  1. Within the next 3 years, GAIL plans to invest Rs.6,000 Crores in the renewable energy sector.
  2. By 2030, GAIL plans to invest another Rs.20,000 Crores in the same.
  3. The company has also chalked up a capital expenditure plan amounting to Rs.40,000 Crores over the next five years, accounting for expansions in the transmission of gas, marketing of the same, and pipelines and petrochemicals.

Did You Know!


When GAIL was incorporated as a company in 1984, it was tasked with the duty of the construction and operation of the Hazira – Vijaypur – Jagdishpur (HVJ) pipeline. Built at a whopping cost of Rs.1700 Crores, this 1800-kilometre-long pipeline was one of the world’s longest cross-country gas pipelines.

Initial Public Offering


The Gail IPO was listed on both the NSE as well as the BSE. It was launched in 2004, and a total of 8,45,65,160 shares were listed. These equity shares were offered to the public at a price of Rs.195 per share.

Equity Shares

Recently, GAIL has been in the news for its decision to buy back 5.70 Crore shares at a cost of Rs.190 per share. This buyback will now result in a reduction in the number of shares that remain outstanding and make future EPS rise. As per most brokers, this buyback can offer a return of 10% to 20%, based on the CMP and acceptance ratio, for short-term investors.
