The Supreme Court Thursday observed that the country will stand to gain if natural gas from the Krishna-Godavari basin is sold at a lower price, while Reliance Industries alone will benefit if the consideration is higher.

Question by Swadesh Chakrabortty CPI-M
Whether the government is considering revision of gas price of Reliance Industries as and when the gas is available from KG Basin. Whether RIL has requested the government to raise the gas price at 4.20 dollars per unit; whether Oil and Natural Gas Corporation is supplying gas at a price of 2.2 dollars / unit.
Answer by Dinsha Patel, minister of state in the ministry of petroleum & natural gas
No, sir. No request has been made to the government by RIL to raise the gas price. Under administered price mechanism, gas is being supplied by ONGC to power and fertiliser sectors at Rs 3,200 / thousand standard cubic metres and to transport sector and Court mandated small consumers at Rs 3,840 / mscm. In the North East, the supply to the mentioned categories of consumers is at Rs 1,920/mscm and Rs 2,304/mscm respectively. At US dollar 1= Rs 45, these prices translate to US dollar 1.792/mmbtu, US dollar 2.15 / mmbtu, US dollar 1.076/mmbtu and US dollar 1.20 / mmbtu, respectively. APM price is not comparable with market determined prices under production sharing contract.

SO THE CONCLUSION. THE PSC RATE OF 4.2 DOLLARS WILL BE STRUCK DOWN AS BEING AGAINST THE NATION`S INTEREST. THIS WILL PAVE WAY FOR SUPPLY OF GAS TO RNRL AS PER FAMILY MOU.
This is my personal opinion considering the fact that RIL dropped nearly 6 percent and RNRL gained more than 10 percent yesterday. |
