- (b): In order to ensure adequate supply of domestic gas to CGD sector for CNG (transport) and PNG (domestic) segments MoP&NG has notified guidelines on 20.8.2014 for allocation of  domestic  gas  to  CGD  entities  for  CNG  (transport)  and  PNG  (domestic).    As  per  these guidelines,  GAIL  has  been  authorized  to  divert  domestic  gas  from  non-priority  sector  for supply  at  uniform  base  price  to  all  authorized  CGD  entities  for  meeting  their  100% requirement  in  CNG  (Transport)  and  PNG  (Domestic)  segments  with  a  flexibility  of additional 10% of preceeding half year consumption.  For making above supply last half year consumption in CNG (transport) and PNG (domestic) segments of individual CGD entity is taken  as  base.  The  supply  made  to  CGD  sector  has  been  kept  in  no  cut  category  and  the allocation of domestic gas for CNG (transport) and PNG (domestic) to CGD entity is being reviewed by GAIL in consultation with PPAC every six months.

(c) & (d): In year  2007,  Government  has  established  Petroleum  and  Natural  Gas Regulatory Board (PNGRB) under the PNGRB Act 2006.  Under the Act, PNGRB grants the authorization  to  the  entities  for  developing  a  City  Gas  Distribution  (CGD)  network  in  a specified Geographical Area (GA) of the country. CGD network supplies gas to four distinct segments  -  Compressed  Natural  Gas  (CNG)  predominantly  used  as  auto-fuel,  and  Piped Natural  Gas  (PNG)  used  in  domestic,  commercial  and  Industrial  segments.  At  present,  67 City Gas Distribution (CGD) networks are either in operation or under development by 25 CGD companies. More GAs are under bidding process to be authorized soon for spreading the  network  in  the  length  and  breadth  of  country.  Further,  PNGRB  has  also  issued  18  No Objection Certificates (NoCs) to 17 entities for setting up facilities for selling Compressed Natural  Gas  (CNG)  for  the  areas  where  PNGRB  has  not  yet  authorized  any  entity  for developing  or  operating  CGD  network.  In  order  to  further  expand  the  coverage  of  CGD Network,  PNGRB  has  initiated  the  6 th round  of  CGD  bidding  for  another  34  new GAs/Districts,  which  have  nearby  natural  gas  pipeline  connectivity  the  List  of  the  above mentioned 34 GAs  is placed at Annexure-I . PNGRB  has  identified another 105 GAs/Districts  that  could  have  natural  gas  pipeline  connectivity  in  future  and  could  be considered for inclusion in future bidding rounds. The List of 105 Probable GAs has been placed at Annexure-II.
