The Minister of State for Petroleum and Natural Gas, Shri Rameswar Teli in a written reply to a question in the Lok Sabha today informed that the Government has not fixed any criteria for the establishment of CNG stations. CNG stations are set up by City Gas Distribution (CGD) entities authorized by Petroleum & Natural Gas Regulatory Board (PNGRB) for development of City Gas Distribution (CGD) network in a Geographical Area (GA). These CNG stations are set up by the entities as per the Minimum Work Plan determined by PNGRB and their techno-commercial feasibility.
Upto the 10th CGD bidding round, PNGRB has authorized 228 Geographical Areas (GAs) in 27 States/Union Territories including the states of Rajasthan and Bihar for the development of CGD networks as per the target set, action plan proposed and timeline determined in the MWP. Further, a part of future action, in the 11th round, PNGRB has received bids against 61 GAs covering 215 (212 full & 3 part) districts and Letter of Intent (LoIs) have been issued for 52 GAs. Further, PNGRB has invited bid on 07.01.2022 for 5 GAs covering 27 districts under the 11A CGD Bidding Round. This will potentially cover 98% of population & 88% of geographical area of the country. As on 31.12.2021, 3628 CNG stations have been commissioned across the county. The state wise details of CNG stations currently in operation and the target fixed are at Annexure.
