This document provides a summary of the natural gas sector in India. It discusses technologies for transporting natural gas over long distances, trends in natural gas consumption, and India's current energy mix and goals to increase the role of natural gas. The document also examines the demand and supply gap for natural gas in India, outlines the current pricing mechanism, and identifies issues on both the demand and supply sides of the natural gas market. Finally, it provides an overview of the major players in India's natural gas market and their respective market shares.

3. INTRODUCTION
Natural gas is one of the most abundant energy
resources on the planet, yet more than one-third of
global natural gas reserves remain stranded and
undeveloped.
70% of gas traded internationally is exported by
pipeline; 30% by liquefied natural gas (LNG).
Alternative technologies have been refined and
developed in recent years but are yet to make serious
inroads into the challenges of developing remote gas
fields

11. CURRENT PRICING MECANISM IN INDIA
Pricing of gas- Administered price mechanism
In Xth plan, under APM-gas from nominated ONGC & OIL fields
priced uniformly at Rs.2,850/(SCM). uniformly for all customers
except in North East, wherein the customers were charged a
price of Rs.1700 per 1000 SCM
With effect from 1.7.06, the gas pricing for APM gas was
changed. all available APM gas would be supplied only to the
power and fertilizer sector consumers.
All other consumers would be supplied natural gas at market
related price subject to a ceiling of ex-Dahej RLN.
Free market gas -JV/Private sector, re-gasified LNG etc.
12. DEMAND SIDE ISSUE
On the demand side, the challenge is to perform a
transition to prices closer to market prices while
maintaining the consumer’s competitiveness. This
price, more than twice the former APM price level
fixed by the government, has unsurprisingly
become a reference point. Being a private sector
company, RIL cannot sell gas at under cost;
therefore their clients have to be able to pay cost-
plus for any of their gas. Indeed gas availability and
affordability for customers are crucial for gas
development in India.
13. SUPPLY SIDE ISSUE
From the supply side, keeping artificially low APM
prices often sends the wrong signals: indeed, gas
prices have to be high enough in order to attract
upstream investments, and cover production costs
and the recovery of capital in order to limit under-
recoveries from PSUs.
These, unsurprisingly, complained that low prices
had been resulting in substantial losses for them.
