It is a great privilege for me to be the Managing Director of Assam Gas Company Ltd. The responsibility cast on me assumes more significance so much so in heading a Category A PSU of Govt. of Assam. AGCL is maintaining a sound financial performance over the years and paying regular dividend to Govt. of Assam. A committed Board of Directors, vibrant management and dedicated young team are in the threshold of unleashing the vast potential in Natural Gas transportation business in our country. Having been closely associated with the petroleum sector I have noted the tremendous opportunity in the Gas value chain. But, what we have made so far are only small steps preparing for giant leap forward in the months and years to follow. There will be challenges in reaching out to customers, scaling up operations, overcoming competitions and remaining competitive, competent and compliant. We have the vision to be a growth oriented energy company dedicated towards enhancing stakeholder value and customer delight through operational excellence and contributing towards a safe and clean eco system. This shall be the mission with which all in AGCL should be working. The task, of course is daunting. But the kind of talent among our pool of Officers and staff, the record of accomplishments so far and with continued dedication by all concerned will certainly enable us to achieve our cherished goals.
