Kirit Parikh panel suggests floor and ceiling price for gas

On Wednesday, a government-appointed gas price review panel led by Kirit Parikh delivered its report to the government, recommending a floor and ceiling price for legacy fields as well as complete pricing freedom beginning January 1, 2026.

The panel suggested that the price of gas produced by state-owned firms from fields given to them on a nomination basis be linked to imported crude oil prices rather than benchmarked to gas rates in international markets, according to Parikh, who added that the rates thus arrived at would be subject to a floor and ceiling.
