GAIL Becomes First Maharatna PSU to Go Live with SAP S/4HANA

GAIL (India) Limited has officially gone live with SAP S/4HANA, marking a significant step in its digital transformation journey. The formal launch took place on June 25, 2025, and was inaugurated by Shri Sandeep Kumar Gupta, Chairman & Managing Director of GAIL.

The event was attended by several top executives, including Directors of Finance, Projects, HR, Marketing, and Business Development, alongside the President & Managing Director of SAP India, Shri Manish Prasad, and other senior officials from both GAIL and SAP.

Project Navodaya: A First Among Maharatnas

The implementation initiative, aptly named “Navodaya”, has made GAIL the first Maharatna PSU to successfully complete the full-scale migration to SAP S/4HANA Cloud. This transition involved replacing the company’s legacy ECC system with a next-generation, cloud-enabled intelligent ERP system, completed within a tight timeline of just one year.

Strategic Leap Toward Future-Ready Operations

CMD Shri Sandeep Kumar Gupta described this development as a “strategic leap forward”, enhancing GAIL’s ability to deliver value to stakeholders. Similarly, Director (Finance) Shri R.K. Jain highlighted that this transformation is not just technological, but foundational for building a smarter, more agile enterprise.

Leveraging AI and Automation for Operational Excellence

Hosted on a robust and scalable cloud platform, the SAP S/4HANA system sets the stage for GAIL to embrace artificial intelligence, machine learning, and advanced automation. These intelligent technologies will drive process optimisation, enhance data-driven decision-making, and foster business resilience in an increasingly dynamic environment.

SAP's Endorsement and Industry Impact

Shri Manish Prasad from SAP emphasised the significance of this milestone, stating that it positions GAIL for exponential growth and improved efficiency. The successful execution of this project showcases how large-scale PSUs can adopt cutting-edge technology to remain competitive and future-ready.
