MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF PETROLEUM & NATURAL GAS (SHRI JITIN PRASADA)
(a) to (c): Government of India has enacted the “Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board (PNGRB) Act, 2006â€, wherein PNGRB has been entrusted with the responsibility of inter alia
authorizing entities to operate City Gas Distribution (CGD) networks. CGD networks entail
supply of Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) for transport sector, as also Piped Natural Gas (PNG)
to domestic, industrial and commercial customers. PNGRB has granted authorization to M/s GAIL
Gas Ltd. for CGD network for the Geographical Area of Sonepat in the State of Haryana.
PNGRB has envisaged a rollout plan of CGD Network Development in more than 300 Geographical
Areas (GAs) in the country, including Rohtak over the next five years. However, Jhajjar is
not presently included in the said rollout plan. Further identification of areas for grant
of authorization for CGD networks is a continuous process, depending on transmission pipeline
connectivity, economic viability and availability of natural gas.
