GAIL Board Approves Merger of Wholly Owned Subsidiary Konkan LNG
GAIL's Board approved the merger of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Konkan LNG Limited, on July 31, 2026. The merger aims to enhance operational efficiencies by creating a vertically integrated entity. KLL's turnover was ₹741 Crore, while GAIL's was ₹1,41,483 Crore for FY 2025-26.
The merger of a wholly-owned subsidiary is a significant corporate action that could lead to operational synergies and a stronger group structure, impacting the company's long-term operational efficiency and market position.
The merger is expected to create a larger, more efficient, and vertically integrated entity, which is a positive development for the company.
GAIL (India) Limited announced that its Board of Directors, in a meeting held on July 31, 2026, approved a scheme of amalgamation for the merger of its wholly-owned subsidiary, Konkan LNG Limited (KLL), with GAIL.
The merger aims to create a larger, vertically integrated entity, thereby simplifying and rationalizing the group structure and enhancing operational efficiencies. KLL, which owns and operates an LNG regasification terminal at Dabhol, Maharashtra, had a turnover of ₹741 Crore for FY 2025-26. GAIL's turnover for the same period was ₹1,41,483 Crore. KLL is a wholly-owned subsidiary of GAIL, and upon the scheme becoming effective, KLL will be dissolved without winding up, with all its equity shares being cancelled.
The transaction does not fall under related party transactions that require an arm's length assessment, as KLL is wholly owned by GAIL. There will be no change in GAIL's shareholding pattern as a result of this merger. The Board meeting commenced at 12:00 noon and concluded at 01:55 p.m. on July 31, 2026. This disclosure is made in compliance with Regulation 30 of SEBI (LODR) Regulations, 2015.
