Management Analysis
* Industry Structure
The natural gas industry is typically segmented into the
Exploration andProduction (E&P), Transmission and Distribution sectors. E
& P companiesexplore for gas, develop the gas fields and then produce and
supply gas toTransmission companies, which transport this gas to downstream
distributioncompanies and a few large end consumers through their high
pressurepipeline transmission network. Distribution companies like MGL have
anextensive low and medium pressure pipeline network that feeds small
retailconsumers, few small industries and commercial establishments.
Distributioncompanies also compress this gas at a high pressure for supply in
the formof CNG to the transport sector.
The company is the largest gas distribution company in India by customerbase.
Till the last year, the company has been executing the project forsupply of PNG
to Domestic, small Commercial and Industrial consumers andCNG to vehicles
within the city of Mumbai. From this year onwards, apartfrom growing its
business in Mumbai, the company is expanding itsoperations into areas adjoining
Mumbai.
* Developments
As Members are aware that Government of India is in the
process offormulating a Petroleum Regulatory Board Bill. The basic objective of
thisBill is to provide for a 'Regulatory Mechanism' for the Petroleum
andNatural Gas sectors. The Company is keeping a close watch on thedevelopments
in this regard to assess the impact of the likely regulationon the business of
the Company to take timely measures so as to sustain thebusiness
performance.
Keeping in view the Report of Vijayaraghavan Committee constituted byMinistry
of Petroleum and Natural Gas in the year 2002, the Company, duringthe year
under review, has provided certain reliefs to its Domestic andIndustrial
consumers to further enhance their savings.
The Members are aware that Government of Maharashtra has granted interestfree
deferral facility for a period of 13 years effective from April 1996till March
2009 to the Company on the sale of Natural Gas. However, inMarch 2002, Sales
Tax Authorities initiated the recovery action for paymentof Sales Tax Liabilities
effective from April 01, 2001. The representationmade by the Company to the
Government of Maharashtra for continuation ofthe deferral facility for its
original envisaged period of 13 years isunder consideration and is being
pursued.
* Future Outlook :
As of now, the Company has created a backbone infrastructure
fordistribution of Piped Natural Gas (PNG) and Compressed Natural Gas (CNG)
inthe city of Mumbai. The PNG infrastructure set up by the Company has
thepotential to cater over 5,50,000 households.
The Company has made plans to continue the growth of PNG and CNGinfrastructure
in the city of Mumbai as well as to expand the areas ofoperation beyond Greater
Mumbai covering the areas of Mira Road, Bhoyander,Thane, Kalyan, Dombivili,
Navi Mumbai and Belapur so as to avail thebenefit of allocation of 0.5 MMSCMD
of gas by MOP&NG for expansion areas toDomestic and Transport consumers.
The Company is in discussions withvarious potential natural gas and R-LNG
suppliers to source gas to servethe Industrial and Commercial market segments
in the areas adjoiningMumbai. The Company has planned to lay over 30 Kms of
Steel pipeline in theexpansion areas during 2004-05.
The Company also hopes to play a significant role as a Joint Venturepartner in
implementing the Pune City Gas Distribution Project in the near future.
Considering the increased demand and future potential, the Company willcontinue
to place major thrust on the development of CNG infrastructure inthe city of
Mumbai as well as in the expansion areas. The Company hopes toadd more CNG
outlets during the year 2004-05 and open outlets in theexpansion areas as
well.
The Company will also be looking for opportunities to provide 'Value
AddedServices' to the consumers. The Company is in the process of amendingobject
clauses in the Memorandum of Association to cover provisions ofvarious value
added services as its business activities.
CORPORATE OVERVIEW
MGL so far
From a modest background of supplying gas
to the suburbs of Mumbai, MGL has today become the leading consumer gas
friendly company with a customer tally of 2.8 lakhs connected PNG users and
around 868 small industrial & commercial customers. The MGL project, which
started in 1995 from Chembur, has covered major parts of Mumbai through its
distribution network i.e. from Dadar to Dahisar, Sion to Mulund, Thane &
Mira Bhayander area. MGL recently launched Piped Natural Gas in South Mumbai to
bring the convenience of Natural Gas to South Mumbaikars & expanding the

across the city through its network of 120 CNG stations, thus contributing to
more than 577 metric tonnes reduction of pollutants every day.

Outlook

ambitious plans for CNG & PNG expansion in Mumbai, Thane & Navi Mumbai.
