National Gas Pipeline Authority
The Minister of State (I/C) for Petroleum & Natural Gas Shri
Dharmendra Pradhan informed the Lok Sabha in a written reply today that the
details of existing natural gas pipelines along with their capacity to
transport the gas is enclosed as Annexure-I.
In order to complete the gas grid across the country, about 11,900 km of
pipelines have already been authorized by Petroleum & Natural Gas
Regulatory Board (PNGRB)/Government of India and 1200 km of pipeline is under
bidding process by PNGRB. For completion of gas grid, 2500 km of pipelines have
been identified for development through PPP mode.
Presently, there is no proposal with PNGRB for setting up a National Gas
Pipeline Authority.
The details of the Bhatinda-Jammu-Srinagar and Jagdishpur-Haldia
pipeline projects along with the current status is enclosed at Annexure-II.
The onus for arranging of funds for laying of natural gas pipelines
vests with the entity authorized by PNGRB/Government.
For working out the implementation of the Budget announcement, Ministry
has identified various pipelines and spur line pipeline sections to be
developed to complete the National Gas Grid.
Further, Ministry has identified 3 pipeline sections of the total length
of about 2500 km for implementation through PPP mode with Viability Gap Funding
(VGF). Ministry has approved a pipeline section (Ranchi-Talcher-Paradip) for
implementation through PPP mode as pilot project and the remaining 2 pipeline
sections viz., Barauni-Guwahati-Agartala and Haldia-Paradip/Srikakulam would be
considered through PPP mode with VGF after successful completion of the pilot
project. The details of natural gas pipelines that would form part of the
National Gas Grid along with their present status are enclosed at
Annexure-II.

Green Fuel Projects
The Minister of State (I/C) for Petroleum & Natural Gas Shri
Dharmendra Pradhan informed the Lok Sabha in a written reply today that
presently, Govt. is broadly following the under-mentioned order of priority in
allocation of domestic gas:
(i)
Existing Gas based Urea plants.
(ii)
Existing Gas based LPG plants.
(iii)
Existing grid connected and gas based power plants.
(iv)
City Gas Distribution (CGD) network for domestic and transport sectors
(v)
Other sectors including steel, refineries, petrochemicals, CGD for
industrial and commercial customers etc.
However, in order to comply with the orders of Hon’ble Supreme Court in
the case of M.C. Mehta Vs UOI & Ors. in WP 13029/1985, April, 2002
directing to accord highest priority to transport sector in allocation of
natural gas, it has been decided to meet the entire requirement of CGD entities
for CNG (transport) and PNG (domestic) segments through domestic gas.
PNGRB has envisaged a phased roll out plan for development of CGD
networks in several Geographical Areas (GAs) in various States depending on the
natural gas pipeline connectivity/natural gas availability. The GAs are
included in bidding rounds in a phased manner taking into account the natural
gas pipeline connectivity/natural gas availability and feasibility for grant of
authorization to develop CGD networks. PNGRB has been considering entire
districts, which includes small towns/less populated villages, as GAs for
development of CGD network.

Profit Generated by OMCs
The Minister of State (I/C) for Petroleum & Natural Gas Shri
Dharmendra Pradhan informed the Lok Sabha in a written reply today that the
fall in crude oil prices has adversely affected the financial performance of
Public Sector Oil Companies. While the
adverse impact on performance of Upstream Oil PSUs is on account of reduction
in gross revenue on sale of crude oil and petroleum products; down stream Oil
PSUs have incurred huge inventory losses.
The company wise Profit After Tax (PAT) of
major Oil PSUs during 3rd quarter of 2014-15 is given below:

Provisional Bills of IGL
The Minister of State (I/C) for Petroleum
& Natural Gas Shri Dharmendra Pradhan informed the Lok Sabha in a written
reply today that the process of raising bills on domestic Piped Natural Gas
(PNG) consumers at Indraprastha Gas Limited (IGL) has been adopted as
prescribed in Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board (PNGRB) (Code of
Practice for Quality of Service for City or Local Natural Gas Distribution
Networks) Regulations, 2010. According to these Regulations, the bill on
customer is raised at bi-monthly frequency on the basis of meter reading
collected from the PNG meter installed at customer`s premises.
In case the meter is not read during any
billing cycle due to reasons attributable to domestic consumer, like
unavailability at home at the time of visit etc. IGL sends a provisional bill
based on average consumption of last six billing cycles as per Clause 6,
Sub-Clause (1), Section G of said Regulations.

CNG/PNG Network
The Minister of State (I/C) for Petroleum & Natural Gas Shri
Dharmendra Pradhan informed the Lok Sabha in a written reply today that the
details of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) stations and Piped Natural Gas (PNG)
domestic connections and Industrial connections
is annexed. The price of
CNG/PNGare not fixed by the Government. The price of CNG/PNG in any
Geographical Area (GA) is fixed by the concerned City Gas Distribution Company
(CGD) operating in that particular GA.
As on 28.02.2015 Mahanagar Gas Limited
(MGL) has 15,717 customers on the waiting list. For expeditious connections,
MGL is taking the following steps:
i. Regular follow up with statutory
authorities like (MCGM, TMC, CIDCO, NMMC) for obtaining requisite permissions
for laying of new infrastructure to cater more domestic connection;
ii. Appointment of additional site
engineers and contractors;
iii. Enhancement of MGL’s internal
resources;
iv. Focus on developing new plumbers
through CSR initiatives.
v) Focus on enhanced coordination between
plumbers and sales representatives to register and connect customers
expeditiously.
Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board
(PNGRB) has envisaged a phased roll out plan for development of City Gas
Distribution networks (CGD) in several Geographical Areas (GAs) in various
States, depending on the natural gas pipeline connectivity/natural gas
availability. The GAs are included in
bidding rounds in a phased manner taking into account the natural gas pipeline
connectivity/natural gas availability and feasibility for grant of
authorization to develop CGD networks.
Based on the requests made by various State Governments, PNGRB has been
considering entire districts, which include small towns/less populated
villages, as GAs for development of CGD networks.

Moreover, in order to improve
the availability of ethanol, the Government, on December 10, 2014, fixed the
price of Ethanol in the Range of Rs. 48.50 to Rs. 49.50, depending upon the
distance of distillery from the depot/installation of the OMCs. The rates
are inclusive of all central and statutory levies, transportation cost etc,
which would be borne by the Ethanol suppliers.
Further, ethanol produced from other non-food feedstocks besides molasses, like
cellulosic and ligno cellulosic materials including petrochemical route, has
also been allowed to be procured subject to meeting the relevant Bureau of
Indian Standards (BIS) specifications.

signed on 29.07.2010 between Government of India and M/s GEECL for exploration
and exploitation of CBM gas in Mannargudi area of Tamil Nadu. The Petroleum
Exploration License (PEL) was granted by State Government of Tamil Nadu to M/s
GEECL on 04.11.2011. The contractor, M/s GEECL, is to execute a Minimum Work
Program but has not commenced any work in the awarded block so far.
