It has increased from 128.6 Million Metric Standard Cubic Meter per Day (MMSCMD) in FY 2014-15 to 160.83 MMSCMD in FY 2022-23. The State/U.T. wise supply/ consumption of Natural Gas in major sectors viz. City Gas Distribution (CGD), Fertilizer and Power in the Country is at Annexure .

Allocation of domestic natural gas produced under the Administered Price Mechanism (APM) is being made as per the Government policy which places Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) (Transport) and Piped Natural Gas (Domestic) segment of CGD sector as top priority followed by Fertilizer, LPG and Power. As domestic production is not adequate to meet the domestic demand, the allocation has been carried out for sector/industry as per the order of priority in line with extant policy and guidelines of Government.
