GAIL (India) Ltd on Friday said that it has entered into naphtha marketing for the first time with the supply of its first naphtha tanker to NTPC, Auraiya from its plant located at Pata in Uttar Pradesh. In a statement issued here, the company said, the production of naphtha as a by-product of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) fractionation has commenced for the first time at GAIL's plant at Pata after successfully carrying out suitable modifications in the process parameters.
