Gas Utilization Policy The large gap between demand and available supplies prompted the government to develop a Gas Utilization Policy and to go back to administrative control over prices and over volumes to be allocated to end-consumers. Therefore, in 2008, the government introduced new guidelines called the Gas Utilization Policy, which effectively took away gas producers' rights to sell the gas they discover on the open market. These guidelines were applicable for five years and be reviewed afterwards.
Gas Utilization Policy (2) Currently, the rules of the General Policy for the gas market imply that gas will be allocated according to sectoralpriorities set up by the government. This does not imply that the gas is reserved : if one customer is not in a position to take the gas, the next one on the list becomes eligible. As per reports, the Government will give city gas projects selling CNG to automobiles and piped cooking gas to households top-most priority for receipt of domestically produced gas.
Sectorial Snapshot CGD infrastructure is available in 46 cities in India Delhi, Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Suratand Pune are some major cities covered by CGD infrastructure. India had 925 CNG stations at the end of March 2014 Gujarat has the maximum number of stations: 326, followed by Delhi NCR with 295 stations Total numbers of Piped Natural Gas Consumers are 24.6 million while CNG serves a vehicle population of 1.97 million vehicles. Average sale of CNG in India is 6.5 MMSCMD.

Key Highlights for CNG Infrastructure during Q1 (Apr 14-Jun 14) The total number of CNG stations in the country added in Q1 2014-15 were 8 as compared to 18 in Q4 2013-14. CNG consumption during Q1 FY 2014-15 for around 1.7 million IGL had the largest market share with 45% of total gas sales volume followed by Gujarat Gas Company with 10% market share.

INDIAN SCENARIO Indian Government permitted use of LPG for automotive purposes in August 2001. Amendment to Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, SMPV rules, LPG Control Order etc. permitted the use of LPG as auto fuel Auto LPG was permitted to be marketed by Govt. Oil Companies as well as parallel marketers by importing/ import substitution. IS: 14861 standard was drafted for Specifications of Auto LPG The overall no of ALDS in the country ie. Of Govt oil marketing companies and parallel marketers in the market today is close to 1100 spread over 300 cities with an annual sales of about 320 TMT.
AUTOGAS CONSUMPTION AND VEHICLE FLEET INDIA
PRESENT SITUATION Stagnant market with low consumption Increase in both OPEX and CAPEX costs Vulnerability to Foreign exchange variations & seasonal international price fluctuations Stand alone ALDS no longer a viable business proposition Price intervention by government distorting fuel choicepresent decontrol may help Substitutes like CNG : driven by low pricing which hopefully may not last Lack of enforcing fuel quality standards affecting industry LPG conversions on the wane
PRESENT SITUATION Flat/ negative growth leading to low / nil investment on new stations/ facilities. Govt. appears to be focused more on CNG as automotive green fuel and ALPG yet to get its rightful place. Untapped potential of rural areas, cannot be realized due to existing cost structure and uncertainty on future potential. Sales which have shown signs of revival post 6 cylinder cap on domestic LPG now fallen to record lows on doubling of cap to 12 cylinders.
Challenges Today for Alternative Fuels in India Inadequate distribution infrastructure Technology up gradation for kits/fuel systems Harmonization of regulations Development of vehicle I&M programs Promotion of Safety Consciousness Stricter enforcement on the field Elimination of Spurious Kits Stringent environmental regulations Fire Safety
