The nation can always pay a higher price for more difficult horizons, provided the duly approved and audited cost of exploration and production warrants the same.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In the present case, the application said that the current production was realised with no prospect of getting a price of $8.4 per million British thermal unit.<\/p>\n<p>The NGO also noted that the Production Sharing Contract (PSC) does not permit a revision in the price of natural gas once the field has been declared &#8220;commercial&#8221;, and this field was declared &#8220;commercial&#8221; at $4.2 per MMBTU.<\/p>\n<p>The government, the NGO argued, was giving &#8220;a windfall to the current contractor, RIL, at the cost of the people. To add to this jeopardy, the government has now allowed RIL to charge the new price for gas that it had already undertaken to produce. Thus RIL would be benefitting from its non-performance and a deliberate drop in production&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>The application by Common Cause said that following the doubling of the gas price to $8.4\/mmbtu, the well-head price for dry natural gas in India has become the highest in the world.<\/p>\n<p>The application further said that there was no explanation as to why the gas price was fixed in US dollars when the entire production is consumed domestically.<\/p>\n<p>Describing the decision to double the gas price as &#8220;arbitrary, mala fide, unreasonable, and based on extraneous considerations&#8221;, the NGO said that the stay of the same is called for since &#8220;valid and serious concerns of the ministries of finance, power and fertilizers have not been taken into account&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>(Source: IANS)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NGO Common Cause Friday moved the Supreme Court seeking a stay on the government decision doubling the price of gas produced from Reliance Industries Limited-operated KG D-6 field that would become effective April 1.
