The groundbreaking ceremony for upcoming GAIL R&D Centre in Sector 22, Industrial Model Township (IMT), Sohna, Haryana was done today by Shri Sandeep Kumar Gupta, Chairman & Managing Director, in presence of Shri Rajeev Kumar Singhal, Director (BD) and senior officials of GAIL (India) Limited.
The new R&D Centre is envisioned as a state-of-the-art, future-ready innovation hub that will strengthen GAIL’s technological capabilities across its core business and emerging clean energy domains. Spread over 30 acres, the Centre will feature world-class laboratory infrastructure and advanced pilot-scale facilities to bridge the gap between laboratory research and field deployment. The facility, spread over 85,000 square meters, will house seven major research verticals, including Natural Gas Pipeline Integrity & Asset Management, Natural Gas Applications & NG/CO₂ Valorisation, Petrochemicals & Polymers, Renewables, Biotechnology, Nanotechnology and Advanced Analytical Sciences.
In addition, the Centre will be equipped with sophisticated pilot facilities such as closed-loop pipeline testing systems, linear pull-through rigs, and pilot reactors for polymer development and natural gas/CO₂ valorisation etc. These facilities will enable validation of new processes, materials, pipeline technologies, and sustainable energy solutions under industry relevant conditions.
The R&D Centre is expected to play a pivotal role in strengthening indigenous technology development, fostering collaboration with academia and startups, and supporting India’s energy transition journey. On this occasion, GAIL reaffirmed its commitment to building an institution of excellence that will contribute to innovation-led growth and the vision of Atmanirbhar Bharat.
