The Cabinet decision was based on the recommendations of an expert panel headed by economist Kirit Parikh which proposed a floor of $4 per unit and cap of $6.5 for natural gas produced from old administered price mechanism (APM) fields operated by state run explorers – Oild and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) and Oil India Limited (OIL).

According to Crisil Ratings report, the revised mechanism will enable reducing CNG, PNG costs by around 9 to 11%, which would have otherwise risen if the previous regime had continued.

"This revised gas pricing norms would lend greater stability to gas prices for city gas distributors and sustained competitiveness with alternative fuels, thus driving demand and supporting massive capex plans," it said.
