GAIL is the pioneer of city gas distribution in India. GAIL took many initiatives to introduce PNG for households and CNG for the transport sector to address the rising pollution levels. Pilot projects were launched in early 1990s in two metros Delhi and Mumbai through joint venture companies Indraprastha Gas Limited (IGL) and Mahanagar Gas Limited (MGL) leading to the start of commercial operation of city gas projects. The results of these ventures are quite visible through the improvement in air quality in these cities. 

In this competitive environment, a sincere and dedicated approach, energy and focus have been taken to maintain GAIL's leading position in CGD projects. This has necessitated the requirement of a new establishment of GAIL dedicated to CGD projects. Accordingly, for implementation of the city gas distribution projects smoothly, a wholly owned subsidiary of GAIL (India) Limited, GAIL Gas Limited, was incorporated on May 27, 2008 as a limited company under the Companies Act,1956.

Also,based on the success of IGL and MGL, GAIL has further set up six more JVCs  viz Bhagyanagar Gas Limited, Andhra Pradesh; Avantika Gas Limited in Madhya Pradesh; Central U P Gas Limited & Green Gas Limited in Uttar Pradesh; Maharashtra Natural Gas Limited in Pune Maharashtra and Tripura Natural Gas Company Limited in Tripura. for CGD projects in various cities.
