India initiates moves toward freeing natural gas pricing

The Indian government has started work on shifting from administered price for natural gas to a free pricing regime, but the process is to be spread out over three years.

According to officials, NITI Aayog (National Institute for Transformation of India Commission) has already submitted a working paper advocating freeing natural gas from government-administered pricing and that a final proposal will be put up for approval of the federal Cabinet of Ministers.
