25 Jul 2012 Evaluate

Trouble seems to be brewing for Indraprastha Gas again, as government regulator Petroleum & Natural Gas Regulatory Board (PNGRB) filed a Special leave petition (SLP) in the Supreme Court against a Delhi High Court order that raised questions on the regulator’s jurisdiction and role in the downstream gas market.

IGL, which opposed the government regulator on grounds that it would wipe out company’s entire net worth of Rs 1500 crore, moved the Delhi High Court against the regulator’s order. Delhi High court via its order dated June 01, 2012, quashed PNGRB’s April 9 order, where in the regulator had not only slashed the tariff rates of supplier by 63% with retrospective effect from April 1, 2008 but had also ordered IGL to refund extra money, charged by it, to customers since 2008. The regulatory board, vide its order, fixed IGL's pipeline network transportation tariff at Rs 38.58 per million metric British thermal unit (mmBtu) as against Rs 104.05 per mmBtu proposed by IGL.

The sole supplier of CNG and piped cooking gas in the national capital, has reported audited financial results for the year ended 2012.
