The Power Ministry will make a strong case to the Empowered Group of Ministers (eGoM) for considering power plants in the priority sector while making gas allocation.
”I am in dialogue with Defence Minister A. K. Anthony (who heads the eGoM) to seek a meeting of the gas allocation panel. We will seek that the power sector be considered as priority," Power Minister Jyotiradiya Scindia told mediapersons.
Currently, fertiliser and LPG are the priority sectors.
Domestic gas output from the RIL-promoted KG basin has dropped to an all-time low of around 16 mmscmd.
Currently, power plants are not getting any gas from the KG Basin.
In addition, around 9000 MW of gas-fired plants are stranded due to a lack of gas and are in line to become non-performing assets.
