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

(a):  The  details  of  existing  City  Gas  Distribution  Networks  across  the  country  including  the  number  of households/industrial  units  covered  in  each  of  the  cities  under  this  network  along  with  the  rates  of PNG/CNG, State/UT-wise is at Annexure-I .

(b)  to  (d):  Under  the  Petroleum  &  Natural  Gas  Regulatory  Board  (PNGRB)  Act,  2006,  PNGRB  is  the statutory authority to grant licenses for the development of City Gas Distribution  (CGD) network which includes  PNG/CNG network. Requests are received from various State Governments from time to time.

Based on these requests, PNGRB has been considering the entire district as a Geographical Area (GA) for development of CGD network so that PNG/CNG can be made available to small cities/rural population also.  PNGRB has notified the relevant regulatory framework for processing Expression of Interest (EoI) submitted by interested entities to develop CGD networks in any part of country. Subsequently, PNGRB grants license for developing CGD network through competitive bidding process. 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 network in the country.  PNGRB has concluded 05 rounds of CGD bidding for award of development of CGD networks in different parts of the country including Maharashtra.   At present, Jharkhand is not connected with any gas pipeline.

(e):  Government has prioritized domestic gas allocation for CGD entities and has also issued guidelines wherein the entire requirement of CGD entities for PNG (domestic) is being met through domestic gas.
