The hike effective for the period between October and March 2017-18 is the first hike in three years time. Further this is for the gas which is produced in the local fields of RIL's KG-D6, ONGC and OIL.
In a notification, it also sharply increased the ceiling on premium price for natural gas produced from tough fields to to .3 per million metric British Thermal unit. This increase has been made as per the reference rate in global economies.
