The increase in net profit during the quarter was mainly due to the increase in natural gas, LPG transmission and liquid hydrocarbons sales quantity, BC Tripathi, Chairman and Managing Director, GAIL (India), said.

However, the sale from natural gas trading during the fourth quarter was down to Rs 4,665 crore (Rs 4,743 crore). “There was a drop in natural gas trading because there was no spot LNG coming,” Tripathi told media persons in New Delhi.
For the full fiscal 2009-10 the company has reported a 12 per cent increase in net profit to Rs 3,140 crore (Rs 2,804 crore). The turnover for the fiscal increased by 5 per cent to Rs 24,996 crore (Rs 23,898 crore).

Some of the future projects include petrochemical plant upgradation, pipeline infrastructures, and renewable energy projects. GAIL also plans to raise Rs 500 crore through bond sales in the domestic market, with greenshoe option of 50 per cent, and another $150 million through foreign currency bonds.
