Document background
A Firm Transportation Agreement is essential for businesses requiring guaranteed capacity for natural gas transportation through pipeline networks in India. This document type is particularly crucial in the regulated Indian energy market, where it provides the contractual framework for secure and reliable access to pipeline infrastructure. The agreement is used when parties need to establish long-term, guaranteed transportation arrangements, typically between pipeline operators and gas shippers or end-users. It addresses both the commercial and technical aspects of gas transportation, including capacity rights, operational parameters, and compliance with Indian regulatory requirements. The document includes specific provisions required by the Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board (PNGRB) and other relevant Indian authorities, making it a fundamental tool for energy infrastructure operations in India.
