## MINISTER  OF  STATE  (INDEPENDENT  CHARGE)  IN  THE  MINISTRY  OF  PETROLEUM  & NATURAL GAS (SHRI DHARMENDRA PRADHAN)

(a)  &  (b):  Installed  production  (compression)  capacity  of  CNG  in  the  country  is  about  144  Lakh  Kg  per  day. Against this  capacity,  the  total  CNG  consumption  is  about  100  Lakh  Kg  per  day  in  the  country.  PNG  is  being supplied through City Gas Distribution (CGD) pipeline network and the current installed capacity of CGD network is able to cater the entire demand of connected PNG segment. About 31.63 Lakh households (as on 31st March 2016) have been connected with PNG network and are being supplied PNG as cooking fuel.

(c): Indraprastha Gas Limited (IGL) is developing and operating CNG filling stations in NCT of Delhi, Gautama Budh Nagar and Ghaziabad (including Hapur) in NCR. As on 31st March 2016, IGL had set up 340 CNG filling stations in its areas of operation. Further, IGL has added 78 new CNG filing stations in the current financial year and  now  IGL  is  operating  418  CNG  filling  stations  in  Delhi,  Gautama  Budh  Nagar  and  Ghaziabad  (including Hapur) in NCR. The details of CNG filling stations (State/UT-wise including NCR) is at Annexure-I .

PNGRB  Act  2006.    Under  the  Act,  PNGRB  grant  authorization  to  the  entities  for  developing  a  City  Gas Distribution  (CGD)  network  in  the  specified  Geographical  Area  (GA)  of  the  country  through  bidding  process. PNGRB  monitors  the  progress  of  CGD  network  on  quarterly  basis.  Further,  Government  is  also  periodically reviewing  the  progress  of  PNG  network  expansion.  The  authorized  entity  is  developing  the  CGD  network (including PNG network) based on its own techno-commercial feasibility and Government does not sanction or provide any fund for development of CGD network in any specified GA/district/city.

(e):      PNGRB has envisaged a phased roll out plan for development of CGD networks in several Geographical Areas  (GAs)  in  various  States.  The  GAs  are  included  in  bidding  rounds  in  a  phased  manner  depending  on  the natural gas pipeline connectivity/natural gas availability and feasibility for grant of authorization to develop CGD networks in the country.

(f):    Government  supplies  the  domestic  gas  (far  cheaper  compared  to  imported  gas)  to  all  PNG  domestic households including BPL category/other weaker section of society.
