The Central Government has taken necessary steps to strengthen the allocation framework for domestic natural gas.
Improving air quality in cities and strengthening domestic energy security.
The Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas has rolled out the Domestic Gas Allocation Policy.
The allocation of domestic natural gas for the CNG (T) and PNG (D) segments will be done on a two-quarter basis.
The distribution will now encompass NWG from the field granted to ONGC and OIL.
The increase in domestic gas allocation will prioritise transport and domestic cooking.
The prices of both APM gas and NWG are linked to the prices of the Indian crude basket.
This will increase access to clean energy and improve the air quality of cities.
