In line with One Nation, One Grid, One Tariff, the Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board has released the unified tariff structure for natural gas transportation across the nation. 

As per the new regulation, Rs 54.00/million metric British thermal units (mmBtu) would be charged up to 300 km and Rs 102.86/mmBtu would be charged beyond 300 km effectively from January 1, 2026. 

This is likely to reduce the cost of compressed natural gas (CNG) by Rs 1.25 to 2.50 per kg and Domestic Piped Natural Gas (PNG) by Rs 0.90 to 1.80 per standard cubic meter (scm).
