GAIL Sets Digital Benchmark, First Maharatna PSU To Launch RISE With SAP S/4HANA On Cloud

New Delhi: New Delhi: GAIL (India) Limited has taken a major step in its digital journey by becoming the first Maharatna PSU to successfully go live with RISE with SAP – S/4HANA on Cloud. The official launch took place on June 25, 2025, in New Delhi and was led by GAIL’s Chairman & Managing Director Shri Sandeep Kumar Gupta, along with other board members and senior officials from SAP India.

This digital transformation project, named “Navodaya”, was completed within one year, a notable achievement given the scale and complexity of GAIL's operations. The transition marks a full migration from GAIL’s old SAP ECC system to the more advanced S/4HANA Cloud platform.

Speaking at the event, Shri Sandeep Kumar Gupta stated that this move is a “strategic leap forward” that will help GAIL deliver greater value to customers, employees, and stakeholders. The new system enhances operational efficiency and enables the use of advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, and automation.

Shri R.K. Jain, Director (Finance) at GAIL, highlighted that this shift is not just about technology but about creating a smarter, more agile enterprise ready for the future. He stressed the importance of aligning digital systems with business goals to strengthen decision-making and overall performance.

Shri Manish Prasad, President & Managing Director of SAP India, congratulated GAIL and remarked that this transformation would significantly improve GAIL’s efficiency and open doors to innovation and growth, especially in AI-driven operations.

This move strengthens GAIL’s position as a technology leader in the public sector, laying a strong IT foundation for future initiatives. With the cloud-based ERP system, GAIL is expected to become more responsive, flexible, and competitive in a fast-changing business environment.

The collaboration between GAIL and SAP reflects a growing trend among Indian PSUs to adopt modern digital solutions to stay relevant and resilient in today’s global market.
