## STATEMENT REFERRED IN REPLY TO PARTS (a) to (e) OF THE LOK SABHA STARRED QUESTION NO.204 REGARDING CITY GAS DISTRIBUTION NETWORK ASKED BY SHRI M.K. RAGHAVAN AND  SHRI PINAKI MISRA, MPs TO BE ANSWERED ON MAY 09, 2016

(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) along  with  the  rates  of  Piped  Natural  Gas  (PNG)/  Compressed  Natural  GAs  (CNG), State/UT-wise is at Annexure.

(b) to (d): 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 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.

(e):  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.
