Gujarat Gas Limited has announced measures to support the revival of the Morbi ceramic industry by ensuring uninterrupted gas supply and stable pricing.
The initiative follows disruptions caused by geopolitical developments, which had impacted production and employment in the region.
With supply conditions stabilising, industrial activity is gradually resuming across the ceramic cluster.
The company has reaffirmed its role as a key supplier of piped natural gas (PNG) to the Morbi ceramic cluster. During recent geopolitical challenges, Gujarat Gas sourced fuel from alternative markets outside the Middle East to maintain uninterrupted supply in line with government directives.
The disruption led to increased raw material costs, higher freight charges, and restrictions on propane usage. As a result, several ceramic units in Morbi temporarily halted operations from mid-March 2026, affecting employment for a large workforce.
Gujarat Gas engaged with stakeholders, including industry associations, to facilitate the restart of operations. The company focused on ensuring continuous gas availability, stable pricing, and adequate supply volumes to meet industrial requirements.
Industrial operations have begun to recover in April 2026. Gas consumption increased from around 0.36 mmscmd at the end of March to approximately 2.70 mmscmd by April 22, with the number of active units rising significantly.
The company expects further improvement, with the number of active units projected to reach around 675–700. Gas consumption is estimated to increase to 6–7 mmscmd, supported by assured supply and pricing for the month.
In addition to industrial supply, Gujarat Gas is facilitating PNG connections for ancillary facilities such as employee canteens, contributing to the operational ecosystem of manufacturing units.
Shares of Gujarat Gas Limited were trading at ₹383.90 as of 24 April 2026, 14:48 IST, down 0.54% from the previous close of ₹386.00.
Gujarat Gas’s measures to stabilise supply and pricing have supported the gradual revival of the Morbi ceramic industry. As operations resume and consumption rises, the sector appears to be moving towards recovery following recent disruptions.
