GGL boosts Morbi ceramic revival; gas consumption to hit 6-7 mmscmd by May

Gujarat Gas Limited (GGL) has reaffirmed its commitment to the Morbi ceramic industry by ensuring uninterrupted gas supply and price stability amidst recent geopolitical disruptions. Following a crisis that led many ceramic units to suspend operations in mid-March 2026, impacting over 2 lakh workers, GGL proactively sourced natural gas from non-Middle East markets. Through extensive engagement with industry stakeholders, GGL addressed concerns regarding gas availability, pricing, and supply volumes. As a result, industrial activity in Morbi has gradually resumed in April 2026, with gas consumption increasing from approximately 0.36 mmscmd (serving 83 units) on March 31, 2026, to about 2.70 mmscmd (serving 290 units) by April 22, 2026. GGL expects active gas consumers to increase to 675-700 units, with total consumption projected to reach 6-7 mmscmd in May 2026. The company has assured price certainty for May 2026, boosting confidence and benefiting the affected workforce.
