Indraprastha Gas Ltd (IGL) has bagged license to build and operate CNG stations and piped natural gas network in Ghaziabad. IGL is an ‘authorised entity’ to lay, build, operate or expand city-gas distribution (CGD) network in Ghaziabad.
In 2009, the Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board (PNGRB) had invited bids for city gas business in seven cities — Allahabad, Ghaziabad and Jhansi in Uttar Pradesh, Shahdol (Madhya Pradesh), Rajahmundry and Yanam (Andhra Pradesh) and Chandigarh.
IGL, which had pre-PNGRB authorisation for CNG operations in Ghaziabad, had challenged PNGRB’s move in the Delhi High Court. IGL had claimed that the board lacked powers to issue authorisation for city gas business since Section 16 of the PNGRB Act was not notified.
