The ministry also wants to break away from GAIL’s transportation unit to enhance third-party access to its pipeline, said the report. India produces just half of the gas that it consumes at present while a government set formula determines…

This forced the HPCL management to act quickly. Sebi had also ordered HPCL’s company secretary to place the letter containing its directives before the board of directors and disseminate the letter to stock exchanges. For more…
