DJ India Defers Decision On Raising Gas Prices By 3 Months

By Saurabh Chaturvedi and Prasanta Sahu

NEW DELHI--India's federal cabinet Wednesday deferred a decision to raise state-mandated prices of natural gas by three months, a move that is likely to disappoint explorers who have been demanding an increase to help boost production.

This is the second time that the price increase has been deferred.

Last year, an expert panel had recommended raising gas prices to roughly $8 per million metric British Thermal units from $4.20 mmBtu. India's previous government had accepted the recommendation and approved the increase from April 1. But it had to put-off the price increase on the direction of the country's election regulator ahead of national elections that ended last month.
