GAIL Fuels Future with Major FY27 Spend on Pipelines, Petchem, Green Energy.

State-run GAIL (India) Limited is set to significantly ramp up its capital expenditure in Fiscal Year 2027 (FY27), earmarking ₹12,000 crore with a primary focus on expanding its pipeline infrastructure, petrochemical projects, and renewable energy initiatives. This strategic allocation marks the third consecutive financial year the Maharatna company has prioritized these sectors as it continues its transformation into an integrated energy giant.

The planned ₹12,000 crore capex for FY27 represents a notable increase from the ₹10,512 crore spent in FY25 and the expected ₹10,700 crore for the current fiscal year ending March 2026.

A significant portion of the upcoming investment, approximately ₹4,000 crore, will be directed towards pipeline projects, reinforcing GAIL's core gas transmission network. The company also plans to allocate ₹2,500 crore to petrochemical projects, indicating a continued commitment to diversifying its product portfolio. In line with its green energy ambitions, renewables will also receive a substantial share of the capex, though a specific figure was not detailed in the provided information.

Minor allocations include about ₹200 crore for City Gas Distribution (CGD) projects and ₹500 crore for Exploration & Production (E&P) activities.

This sustained investment in key growth areas underscores GAIL's ambition to solidify its position as a comprehensive energy provider in India's evolving energy landscape.
