## MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF PETROLEUM AND NATURAL GAS (SHRI RAMESWAR TELI)

- (a) Establishment of CNG Stations is part of the development of City Gas Distribution (CGD) network and the same is carried out by the  entities  authorized  by  Petroleum  and  Natural  Gas Regulatory Board (PNGRB). These CNG stations are set up by the entities as per the Minimum Work Plan determined by PNGRB and their techno-commercial feasibility.

Public Sector Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) have implemented new 'Dealership Selection Guidelines' for Retail Outlets (ROs) w.e.f. 24.11.2018.

Retail Outlets (ROs) are set up by Public Sector Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) at identified locations based on field survey and feasibility studies. Locations having sufficient potential and which are economically viable are rostered in the Marketing Plans for setting up ROs.

Selection of RO dealer is done through public advertisement released by Public Sector OMCs followed by online process of draw of lots from eligible applicants maintaining full transparency and  minimum human interference.  The  applications  so  received  against  the  advertisement  are processed  in  line  with  laid  down  procedures.  Detailed  Norms/Criteria  for  allotment  of  RO dealerships  in  the  country  are  available  at  www.petrolpumpdealerchayan.in.  Private  sector OMCs establish ROs as per their marketing plan.

- (b)  to  (d)    After  completion  of  11A  CGD  bidding  round,  PNGRB  has  authorized  295 Geographical  Areas  (GAs)  in  the  country  including  17  GAs  in  the  state  of  Rajasthan  for development  of  CGD  network.  Details  of  CNG  stations,  as  on  31.05.2022,  in  the  state  of Rajasthan including Sikar, Karauli and Dholpur Districts are at Annexure-I. As on 01.07.2022, total number of petrol pumps operation in Sikar, Karauli and Dholpur districts are 187, 78 and 64 respectively.
