<h1>India Approves Natural Gas Marketing Reforms for Transparent Pricing and Market Freedom to Boost Domestic Production and Investment.</h1> The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs, led by the Prime Minister, approved Natural Gas Marketing Reforms to advance a gas-based economy. The policy introduces a standard procedure for gas market pricing through transparent e-bidding, allowing affiliates to bid and granting marketing freedom to certain Field Development Plans. This aims to enhance competition, ease of business, and investment in domestic gas production, reducing import reliance. The reforms are expected to boost economic activities, create employment, and improve environmental conditions, aligning with the Atmanirbhar Bharat initiative. Significant investments are being made, particularly on the East coast, to ensure long-term domestic production sustainability.
