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

(a): The details of existing City Gas Distribution Networks (CGD) across the country including the number of households/industrial units covered in each of the cities State-wise/UT-wise is at Annexure .

(b) & (c): Under the Petroleum & Natural Gas Regulatory Board (PNGRB) Act, 2006, the Government has established PNGRB which is the statutory authority to grant licenses for the development of City Gas Distribution (CGD) network. The CGD network includes CNG/PNG network also. Requests are received from various State Governments including the State of Rajasthan 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 services can be made available in the cities and other parts of the district. 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 carried out 6 rounds of CGD bidding for award of development of

CGD networks in different parts of the country.

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