According to the company, Sanjay Kumar started on Thursday as the new director of marketing for the government-run gas utility GAIL (India) Ltd. Prior to taking on his new position, Kumar served as managing director of Indraprastha Gas Limited, the country’s largest distributor of compressed natural gas (CNG), since April 2022.

‘Kumar, who holds a mechanical engineering degree from IIT Kharagpur and an MBA, has a rich domain experience of over 35 years in the natural gas sector,’ stated GAIL in a statement.

Over the course of three decades, he worked in a variety of jobs spanning sectors, including business development, gas marketing, LNG sourcing, trading, and shipping, gas transmission, projects management, and gas pipeline operation and maintenance. He joined GAIL in 1988.

Kumar was given the job of establishing GAIL Global (Singapore) Pte Ltd in Singapore in 2011, which is the company’s international LNG trading affiliate.

He played a significant role in helping this subsidiary grow into a well-known player in the worldwide LNG market over the course of the following five years. This was the first such subsidiary established by any Indian oil and gas PSU.
