\n

On 9 March 2026, the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas (MoPNG) has notified the Natural Gas (Supply Regulation) Order, 2026<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Background:<\/h2>\n

Due to the shifting geopolitical situation and the ongoing conflict across major parts of the Middle East<\/span>, liquefied natural gas<\/span> (LNG) shipments have been severely disrupted. LNG traffic through the Strait of Hormuz<\/span> has been impacted, and suppliers have invoked the force majeure<\/span> clause, requiring the reallocation of available natural gas supplies to priority sectors.<\/p>\n

Because LNG falls under the category of petroleum and petroleum products<\/span>, it is regulated under the Essential Commodities Act, 1955<\/a><\/span>. The Ministry also notes that natural gas is a critical input for sectors such as domestic PNG, CNG transport, fertilizer production, LPG production, and various industrial activities.<\/p>\n

In response to these disruptions, the Government has notified this Order, effective from 9 March 2026<\/span>, as a necessary regulatory measure to ensure stable and equitable distribution of natural gas amid international supply constraints.<\/p>\n

Key Points of Natural Gas (Supply Regulation) Order:<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. \n

    To maintain natural gas supplies and ensure equitable distribution and availability, this Order classifies priority sectors<\/span> and mandates the percentage for each sector, based on their average consumption over the past six month<\/span>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  2. \n

    Priority Sector I<\/span>:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • \n

      Domestic Piped Natural Gas<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) for transport<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      LPG production (including shrinkage needs)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      Pipeline compressor fuel and essential pipeline operations<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      These sectors will receive 100% of their average consumption<\/span>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    • \n

      Priority Sector II<\/span>:<\/p>\n

        \n
      • \n

        Fertilizer plants<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        These facilities will be supplied 70% of their past six-month consumption<\/span> and can use the gas only for fertilizer production, with mandatory certification to Petroleum Planning and Analysis Cell (PPAC).<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

      • \n

        Priority Sector III<\/span>:<\/p>\n

          \n
        • \n

          Tea industry, manufacturing, and other industrial consumers connected to the national gas grid<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          They will receive 80% of average consumption<\/span>. Principles for this allocation will be formulated by PPAC and the Industry Committee.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

        • \n

          Priority Sector IV<\/span>:<\/p>\n

            \n
          • \n

            Industrial and commercial consumers supplied via City Gas Distribution (CGD) networks<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            They will receive 80% of average consumption<\/span>, with allocation principles again set by PPAC and industry bodies.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

          • \n

            To meet the supply for priorities, the Government will curtail (fully\/partially) the gas supply in this order:<\/p>\n

              \n
            • \n

              Petrochemical facilities (including ONGC Petro Additions Ltd., GAIL Pata Petrochemical Complex, Reliance O 2C, and other High-Pressure High Temperature gas consumers)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

            • \n

              Power plants, as required<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n

            • \n

              Oil refineries are specifically required to absorb LNG supply disruptions by reducing their natural gas allocation to about 65% of past consumption<\/span>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

            • \n

              Gas Authority of India Limited (GAIL), in coordination with PPAC, will manage natural gas supplies and report prices of diverted gas volumes.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

            • \n

              The following steps will be taken:<\/p>\n

                \n
              • \n

                PPAC will notify pooled prices<\/span> for gas diverted from non-priority to priority sectors.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

              • \n

                Priority sector entities will be required to accept the pooled price and cannot pursue litigation related to force majeure supply adjustments.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

              • \n

                Diverted gas will not be resold by receiving entities<\/span>.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n

              • \n

                Para 4<\/span> states that, all entities involved in producing, importing, marketing, transporting, or supplying natural gas will comply immediately with revised supply schedules, diversions, and sector wise allocations mandated by the Government.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

              • \n

                The entities include:<\/p>\n

                  \n
                • \n

                  ONGC, OIL, RIL, Vedanta, LNG terminal operators<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

                • \n

                  GAIL<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

                • \n

                  LNG terminal operators<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

                • \n

                  Natural gas pipeline operators<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

                • \n

                  City Gas Distribution companies<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n

                • \n

                  The Order explicitly states that its provisions override any conflicting clauses<\/span> in existing Gas Sale Agreements<\/span> (GSAs) or commercial arrangements.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

                • \n

                  Every producer, importer, transporter, marketer, or distributor of natural gas and regasified LNG will submit detailed data on:<\/p>\n

                    \n
                  • \n

                    production<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

                  • \n

                    imports<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

                  • \n

                    stock<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

                  • \n

                    allocation<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

                  • \n

                    supply<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

                  • \n

                    consumption<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n

                  • \n

                    The Ministry designates the PPAC as the nodal agency for receiving and managing all such data.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
