Different Rates for Supply of Natural Gas in States
The
Minister of State (I/C) for Petroleum & Natural Gas Shri Dharmendra
Pradhan informed the Rajya Sabha in a written reply today that the
delivered price of gas varies from customer to customer depending upon
the basic price of gas, transportation cost, local taxes and levies. The
natural gas consumed in the country can be categorized into two
category viz., domestic gas and imported Regasified Liquefied Natural
Gas (RLNG). The price of domestic natural gas is determined in
accordance with the New Domestic Natural Gas Pricing Guidelines, 2014.
As per the above guidelines, the base price of domestic natural gas
supplied is same for all consumers irrespective of their location and
sector, except for North East Region where the rate is 60% of the
notified rate for certain allocations. The imported RLNG is being
supplied at market determined prices by different gas
suppliers/importers and Government does not control the prices of
imported RLNG.
