पेट्रोलियम और प्राक ृ लिक गैस मंत्री ( श्री धमेन्द्र प्रधान )

## MINISTER OF PETROLEUM AND NATURAL GAS (SHRI DHARMENDRA PRADHAN)

(a) & (b) Details of existing natural gas pipeline and LPG pipeline in the country including their capacity are at Annexure-I . Details of partially commissioned and under-construction natural gas pipelines  are  given  at Annexure-II .  These  pipelines  have  been  authorized  by  Petroleum  and Natural Gas Regulatory Board (PNGRB) and are at various stages of execution viz. Pre-Project activities/laying etc. Further, PNGRB is taking steps for development of natural gas pipeline in order to cover additional area of the country through National Gas Grid.

The average cost of laying of natural gas trunk pipeline is approximately Rs.5 crore per running kilometer. Apart from monitoring the projects by PSUs concerned, the progress of projects are also being monitored at various levels in Government including by the Ministry and the Project Monitoring  Group.  Progress  of  projects  are  also  reviewed  through  e-samiksha  portal  and PRAGATI meetings.

- (c) Domestic natural  gas is  allocated as  per the  prevailing  gas  allocation  policy  depending upon the availability and balance demand is being met through the import of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG).  LNG is imported under open general license on the terms and conditions mutually agreed upon between the buyers and sellers.
