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

- (a) to (e): The prices of petroleum products in the country are linked to the price of respective products in the international market. However, for domestic LPG the Government continues to modulate the effective price to consumer to insulate the common man from rise in international prices.

Government of India has allocated domestic gas to various City Gas Distribution (CGD) entities for  CNG  (Transport)  and  PNG  (Domestic)  purpose.  However,  retails  price  of  CNG/PNG  is determined by CGD entities after considering state taxes, tariff and other components.
