End of monopoly? Urban gas supply could be just one move away from a major reset
New Delhi: The downstream regulator is planning to end marketing monopoly of Indraprastha GasNSE -0.31 %, Mahanagar GasNSE -0.43 %, Gail Gas, Gujarat GasNSE -0.63 % and more city gas distributors in at least 30 license areas by declaring their network as ‘common carrier’, which would force them to reserve a part of their capacity for third party, people familiar with the matter said.
In the next few months, the Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board (PNGRB) will likely be ready with a regulatory framework for elimination of monopolies, they said.
