Under the GOBARdhan Scheme, the CBG price has been fixed at ₹2,110 per MMBtu.
The increase from ₹1,478 to ₹2,110 per MMBtu is approximately 43%.
The Government will provide affordability support of ₹10 per kg of CBG, equivalent to approximately ₹215 per MMBtu for CBG with 95% methane content.
Therefore, the effective CBG cost to be recovered through a wide group of gas consumers will be: ₹2,110 per MMBtu – ₹215 per MMBtu = approximately ₹1,895 per MMBtu Compared with the prevailing CBG price of ₹1,478 per MMBtu, the effective increase is therefore approximately 28% .
