Consumers of natural gas from Reliance Industries' D6 field are facing a pro-rata cut due to dwindling supply, but if output dips further, the government may step in to re-allocate gas in favour of high-priority sectors such as fertilisers and power. The block was producing about 52-53 mmscmd in early March.
Power and fertiliser sector consumers are seeking higher supply. An empowered group of ministers (EGoM) has identified existing gas-based fertiliser plants as top priority customers, followed by existing gas-based liquefied petroleum (LPG) plants and existing power plants. City gas distribution (CGD) projects, steel, petrochemical, existing refineries and captive power units figures in the priority list in declining order. Consumers in priority sectors such as power and fertiliser firms are facing a fuel supply shortfall between 8-13% in the last three months.
The EGoM has made firm allocation of 63.309 mmscmd of KG-D6 gas as per national priority but so far Reliance had contracted about 57 mmscmd gas to the government identified customers. The actual supply was even less than contracted quantities due to transportation bottlenecks. State-run fuel transporters Gail India, which was initially supplying about 33-34 mmscmd of KG-D6 gas through its system, has also seen a decline in the volume to 31 mmscmd. crackcrack
