## MINISTER  OF  STATE  (INDEPENDENT  CHARGE)  IN  THE  MINISTRY  OF PETROLEUM & NATURAL GAS (SHRI DHARMENDRA PRADHAN)

- (a): The state wise number of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) stations as on 30-09-2016 along with geographical area/cities covered is at Annexure-I .  As on 01.4.2016, approximately 56190 petrol pumps are being operated by the three public sector Oil Marketing Companies.  As on 30-09-2016,  the  total  number  of  CNG  stations  is  1167  out  of  which  705  CNG  stations  are operating from petrol pumps.

Domestic gas  is  being  provided  to  all  the  City  Gas  Distribution  (CGD)  entities  operating  in different  parts  of  the  country,  including  NCR  and  Haryana,  for  CNG(Transport)  and  Piped Natural Gas {PNG (Domestic)} at uniform base price.  However, the price of CNG/PNG may vary from State to State due to difference in operating/infrastructure cost of the concerned CGD entity and State levies.

- (b): As informed by the Oil Marketing Companies, there is no provision of subsidy on retail sale  of  petroleum  products  to  Armed  Forces,  including  physically  disabled  or  to  the  families who have lost their members in casualties.
- (c): Under the Petroleum & Natural Gas Regulatory Board (PNGRB) Act, 2006, PNGRB is the  statutory  authority  to  grant  licenses  for  the  development  of  City  Gas  Distribution  (CGD) network  which  includes  PNG/CNG  network.    Requests  are  received  from  various  State Governments from time to time.  Based on these requests, PNGRB considers a Geographical Area  (GA)  for  development  of  CGD  network  in  a  phased  manner  depending  upon  the availability of pipeline connectivity and gas sources.  The details of existing CGD network in the country, including the State of Haryana are at Annexure-II .

PNGRB  has  so  far  conducted  7  rounds  of  bidding  for  award  of  authorization  for  laying, building and operating a CGD network.  Presently, 78 Geographical Areas are covered under CGD Network, including PNG/CNG network.

Presently, there are approximately 33.27 lakh PNG household customers and 27.5 lakh CNG vehicles in the country.

- (d): The  Government  considering  the  expansion  of  PNG  network  to  be  public  utility  has advised all the State/UT Governments to extend all possible support to the CGD companies to issue appropriate directions for rationalizing the charges and time limits for granting permissions by respective authorities for laying gas pipeline network across the country. The expeditious development of CGD network including PNG network will ensure the availability of ecofriendly and clean fuel to the households, industries and transport sector.
- (e):  Concerned CGD entities (as in (c) above) are competent to set up a mechanism for retail CNG in their respective Geographical Area.
