NEW DELHI: The downstream regulator has scrapped its plan to force LNG terminals to reserve a share of their capacity for common use after industry opposed the move arguing the proposal was premature and would hurt local gas demand.
In March 2018, the Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board (PNGRB) had published a draft regulation for LNG terminals in the country, requiring them to register with the board, follow certain safety standards and, most contentiously, offer some common carrier capacity.
