The country’s natural gas industry has sought greater emphasis on implementation of reforms aimed at promoting consumption of the fuel in the upcoming interim Budget.
The industry expects the government to make use of natural gas mandatory for areas where the infrastructure is ready and gas is flowing to help the country achieve the target of increasing gas share in the energy mix to 15% from the current 6% by 2030.
The industry is also hopeful of the long-standing demand of natural gas being categorized under the infrastructure sector to avail improved financing and credit opportunities.
