Regulator weighs moving to gas entry-exit tariff model

NEW DELHI: The Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board (PNGRB) is considering a gas transmission tariff reform that would allow the tariff to be fixed separately for each entry and exit point of the pipeline, a shift from the current distance-based pricing, said its chairman Dinesh Kumar Sarraf.

PNGRB, the downstream regulator, has begun discussions on adopting the entry-exit tariff model in the Indian gas market. “We are analysing whether we should leapfrog to entry-exit or go via unified tariff model,”
