The Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board (PNGRB) has denied allegations of discrimination against city gas distribution (CGD) companies in natural gas allocations since April 2021.
A senior PNGRB official told FE that 10% extra allocation of gas used to be made to every CGD player based on their previous six months’ allocation after a review. But the reduction in sales during the Covid period lowered the base for fresh allocations. The CGD players will get the same level of hike from the March review since the sales are back to pre-Covid levels, the official said.
