## MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF PETROLEUM AND NATURAL GAS (SHRI SURESH GOPI)

(a) to (c)   Allotment of Retail Outlets and appointment of LPG distributorships by Public Sector  Oil  Marketing  Companies  (OMCs)  is  a  continuous  process  to  ensure  adequate availability of motoring fuels such as petrol, diesel and LPG throughout the country.

Establishment of CNG station and providing Piped Natural Gas (PNG) connections to the households are part of the development of City Gas Distribution (CGD) Network and the same is being carried out by the entities authorised by Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board (PNGRB). After completion of 12/12A CGD bidding round, PNGRB has authorized entities for the development of CGD network in 307 Geographical Areas (GAs), covering the entire mainland area (including the metropolitan cities) for the development of CGD network across  the  country.  PNG  connections  are  provided  as  per  the  Minimum  Work  Programme (MWP) mandated by PNGRB and techno-commercial feasibility. As per the MWP, CGD

entities  have  to  provide  12.6  crore  PNG  connections  across  the  country  by  2034.  As  on 30.09.2025, 1.55 crore PNG connections have been provided by the CGD entities.

Once the Retail Outlet is commissioned, Public Sector OMCs provide training to the dealers on various facets to manage the business and provide necessary support and guidance from  time  to  time  to  improve  their  business.  The  prices  of  petrol  &  diesel  are  market determined.  Further,  Universal  Service  Obligations  (USOs)  are  applicable  for  all  retail outlets including PSU OMCs and those set up by the Private Sector.

State/year-wise details of Petrol Pumps and LPG Distributorships commissioned by the Public Sector Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) in the country including Tamil Nadu during the last seven years are given at Annexure-1 and Annexure-2 respectively.  As on 1.11.2025, there are 9,328 retail outlets of Private Oil Companies across the country.

State/UT/Year-wise details of CNG Stations allotted and PNG connections provided in the country including Tamil Nadu during the last seven years are given in Annexure-3 .
