The dynamics which determine the usage of liquid fuels and gas are always shifting.
8And alternate fuel usage costings are important parameters to watch out for.
8India focus is on ethane, RIL imports vast quantities and now GAIL is trying to follow on GAIL's footsteps. 
8In Morbi it is mostly propane that is used.
8Even between, say ethane and naphtha for example, the economics keep shifting.
8Currently, the spreads are favouring naphtha use over the last six months.
8Costly propane could enable feedstock switching as operators of flexi-crackers — chemical production units that can switch between naphtha and propane as a feedstock — aim to maximize the use of naphtha. Interestingly however, ethane is what is sought to be imported by GAIL and is imported by RIL, and ethane prices are usually lower than propane.
8Gas sellers need to keep these facts in mind in India as gas is a substitute too in India's dual feed furnaces
