The regulator on Monday asked IGL to slash its PNG network tariff and CNG compression charges and refund the difference in the levies to consumers April 1, 2008 onwards. It wanted the network tariff to be Rs. 38.58 a unit and compression charge Rs. 2.75 a kg.

But IGL has proposed far higher charges and challenged the regulator's order in the Delhi high court on Tuesday. IGL managing director M Ravindran said the basis of the regulator's calculation was incorrect.
