In a move aimed at promoting cleaner industrial operations, GAIL (India) Ltd and Tata Steel have signed a landmark gas sales agreement to support sustainable growth in the steel sector. The partnership will ensure reliable supply of natural gas to Tata Steel’s plants, helping the company reduce its carbon footprint and transition towards greener steelmaking.

The agreement highlights the growing role of natural gas as a bridge fuel in India’s energy transition. By substituting coal-based fuels with natural gas, Tata Steel expects to significantly cut greenhouse gas emissions, improve energy efficiency, and align its operations with global sustainability standards.

Senior executives from both companies emphasized that the deal demonstrates India’s commitment to integrating cleaner energy solutions into core industries. GAIL, the country’s largest natural gas distributor, reaffirmed its role in supporting industrial decarbonisation, while Tata Steel underlined its long-term goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2045.

Industry analysts noted that the collaboration could serve as a model for other heavy industries in India, fostering greater adoption of natural gas and paving the way for a transition to green hydrogen and renewable energy in the future.
