ANNUAL CONFERENCE

GUJARAT

HOW INDIAN STATES CAN LEARN FROM IT?

A GAS BASED

ECONOMY

INTRODUCTIONDuring last 20 years the State of Gujarat has focused

on developing natural gas pipeline supply infrastructure,

LNG terminals and CGD Infrastructure. It currently holds

about 25% share of natural gas consumption in total gas

supplies on pan India basis. This calls for a nationwide

consultations on how the state of Gujarat could turn

itself into a major gas consuming state and what other

states can learn from the experience of Gujarat.

The state of Gujarat has two major gas hubs: at Hazira

and Dahej, which account for handling about 80% of total

gas & LNG supply in the country. While Hazira receives

both natural gas from Mumbai offshore gas fields and

LNG at Hazira terminal; Dahej receives only LNG at

its largest LNG terminal. The LNG supplies at Dahej &

Hazira are likely to increase further in near future. The

new LNG terminal at Mundra and FSRU at Jafrabad

will add about 35 to 40 MMSCMD of new LNG import

capacity.

The share of natural gas needs to increase in energy

supplies for making India a gas based economy. The

other Indian states also need policies and infrastructure

development to enhance the use of natural gas.

Furthermore, Hon’ble Prime Minister has also called for

reducing 10% import dependence on oil. Such objectives

create a better opportunity for increasing the share of

gas in energy basket.

The conference would discuss about increasing gas and

LNG supply, policies, pricing, its affordability and how

other states can learn from the experience of Gujarat.

SMT. SMRITI ZUBIN IRANI Hon’ble Union Minister for Textiles

and Information & Broadcasting

Mrs. Smriti Zubin Irani was elected to the Rajya Sabha, representing the State of Gujarat. Mrs. Irani is currently the

Union Minister for Textiles and Information & Broadcasting. She is India’s youngest minister in the government and

the first woman to hold office as Union Minister for Human Resource Development and as Union Minister of Textiles.

Apart from being an icon of women empowerment; Mrs. Irani has extensively worked on diverse areas of education,

social empowerment and sustainable development. The World Economic Forum has named Mrs. Irani as the Young

Global Leader from India for the year 2015.
