Executive Summary & Key Takeaways

Gazette Notification Overview

  • The gazette notification S.O. 254, issued by the Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board (PNGRB) on April 10, 2024, introduces the Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board (Determination of Natural Gas Pipeline Tariff) Amendment Regulations, 2024.
  • These regulations further amend the Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board (Determination of Natural Gas Pipeline Tariff) Regulations, 2008.
  • The amendments come into effect from the date of their publication in the Official Gazette, which is April 15, 2024.

Key Changes

  • Unified Contractual Path for NGGS: If a pipeline network is used multiple times for gas transport through the Natural Gas Grid System (NGGS) on a unified contractual path, separate unified contractual paths must be confirmed by the shipper for each usage. Capacity booking and applicable zonal unified tariff will apply for each instance of usage.
  • Unified Tariff Path Definition: A 'Unified Tariff Path' is defined as the path along the NGGS starting from a Unified Entry Point and ending in a Unified Tariff Zone. It identifies pipeline networks, applicable tariffs, and the share of each transporter.
  • Clarification on Transmission Charges: The term 'applicable transmission charges' includes the natural gas pipeline tariff not recovered due to transmission loss.
  • Tariff Zone Percentage: While the second tariff zone is generally 75% of the third tariff zone for unified tariff, the Board retains the authority to decide any other percentage or basis.
  • Settlement Mechanism Amendments: Several amendments are made to Schedule D regarding the Settlement Mechanism, including renumbering of clauses, modifications to data submission timelines, and provisions for interest on deficit amounts.
  • Data Submission Timelines: The timeline for data submission by entities to the Settlement Committee has been revised. The words “and not later than every 15 (fifteen) days” are replaced by “as may be required.”
  • UFT Ratio Working: The deadline for submitting detailed UFT (Unified Tariff) working to the Board is changed to the third week of January every year, replacing the previous deadline of January 31st.
  • IT Tool Expenses: Expenses related to the development and operation of an improved IT tool for UFT calculations will be equally shared by all members of the industry committee.
  • Extension of timelines for settlement committee: Timeline for data submission is extended from T+5 days to T+8 days. Timeline for industry committee to process data is extended from 1 working day to 2 working days. Timeline for completing payment is extended from 2 working days to 4 working days.
  • Interest on Deficit Amount: A provision is added for interest on deficit amounts, calculated at Repo Rate of Reserve Bank of India + 2% per annum, from the date of determination by the settlement committee until the amount is recouped. This interest can be included in the revenue entitlement of the respective entity.
  • Expenses of Settlement/Industry Committee: Expenses related to the working of the Settlement/Industry Committee, as approved by the settlement committee, will be equally shared by all members of the industry committee.

Impact Analysis

Shippers

  • Potential for increased costs due to the application of zonal unified tariffs for each usage.

Transporters

  • Potential impact on revenue distribution based on the share determined for each transporter on the Unified Tariff Path.

Settlement Committee

  • The Settlement Committee is now responsible for determining the period for which the settlement mechanism will be applicable, extending it from four to nine months or a mutually agreed period.

PNGRB

  • PNGRB's oversight role in tariff determination and settlement processes is reinforced.

Industry Committee

  • The Industry Committee will be involved in the functioning of the Settlement Committee and may need to provide data and support for settlement processes.

Action Items

  • All Entities: Ensure timely and accurate data submission to the Settlement Committee.
