(a) &(b): To  promote  the  use  of  green  fuels  or  biofuels  across  the  country Government has amended the National Policy on Biofuels - 2018 which inter alia envisages a target of 20% ethanol blending by Ethanol Supply Year (ESY) 2025-26 through Ethanol Blended Petrol (EBP) Programme, wherein Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) sell petrol blended with ethanol; Biodiesel blending programme wherein biodiesel is  blended with diesel;  and  Sustainable  Alternative towards  Affordable  Transportation  (SATAT)  initiative  wherein  Compressed  Bio Gas (CBG) is marketed along with Compressed Natural Gas (CNG).

Under  the  EBP  Programme  Public  Sector  OMCs  have  achieved  12%  ethanol blending during ESY 2022-23 and have during the year saved approximately 509 crore litres of petrol resulting in savings of more than Rs. 24,300 crore of foreign exchange and expeditious payment of about Rs. 19,300  crore to farmers including net CO2 reduction of 108 lakh metric tonnes.

Government has issued guidelines for co-mingling of domestic gas for supply for Compressed Natural Gas (Transport) & Piped Natural Gas (Domestic) segments of City Gas Distribution (CGD) Networks  for synchronization of CBG with CNG in CGD Network. In order to promote the production and consumption of CBG in the country National Biofuels Coordination Committee (NBCC)  on 24.11.2023 approved,  the  introduction  of  phase  wise  mandatory  blending  of  CBG  in  CNG (Transport)  &  PNG  (Domestic)  segments  of  CGD  sector  starting  from  Financial Year 2025-26.

Further,  the  Government  has  notified  the  use  of  hydrogen  as  automotive  fuel  for fuel  cell  vehicles  on  16 th September,  2016.  The  specifications  of  Hydrogen  as reference  fuel  for  Internal  Combustion  Engine  BS  IV  vehicles  have  also  been notified on 16 th December, 2022.

To promote green fuel and other alternate fuels, Government vide Resolution dated 08.11.2019 inter alia prescribed that in addition to conventional fuels, the authorized  entities  including  PSU  OMCs  (IOCL/BPCL/HPCL)  are  required  to install  facilities  for  marketing  at    least  one  new  generation  alternate  fuels  i.e. CNG/LNG/Electric  Vehicle  Charging  points  etc.  at  their  proposed  retail  outlets within  three  years  of    commissioning    of  the  said  retail  outlet.  State/UT  wise number of retail outlets of Public Sector Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) having CNG/CBG/LNG/EV charging station as on 30.09.2023 are given in Annexure-I.

(c) to (e): Establishment of CNG stations are part of the development of City Gas Distribution (CGD) Network which is carried out by the entities authorised as per the  Minimum  Work  Programme  (MWP)  targets  provided  by  the  Petroleum  and Natural Gas Regulatory Board (PNGRB) and techno-commercial feasibility. After completion of 11-A CGD bidding round, 300 Geographical Areas (GAs) covering about  98%  of  the  population  and  88%  of  total  geographical  area  of  the  country spread over around 630 districts in 28 States/UTs including 22 GAs falling in the state  of  Maharashtra,  have  been  authorised  by  PNGRB  for  development  of  CGD

Network.

In  order  to  further  expand  the  reach  of  natural  gas  in  the  country,  PNGRB  has launched 12th  and 12A CGD Bidding Rounds, covering the states of Arunachal Pradesh,  Meghalaya,  Mizoram,    Nagaland,  Sikkim,  Manipur,  remaining  parts  of Union  Territory  (UT)  of  Jammu  &  Kashmir  and  the  entire  UT  of    Ladakh.  To increase share of natural gas in total energy basket of India, National Gas Grid has been expanded (24,624 kms operational and 10,860 kms under construction).

As per Minimum Work Plan(MWP) target determined by PNGRB, authorized CGD entities have to provide approx. 12.50 crore piped natural gas (domestic) connections across the country by 2032.
