The government has raised the ceiling price for natural gas produced from difficult fields, including Reliance Industries and BP’s KG-D6 block, to $9.89 per million British thermal units (MMBtu) for six months from October 1. The previous ceiling was $8.90 per MMBtu.

The new ceiling applies to gas produced from deepwater, ultra-deepwater and high-pressure, high-temperature discoveries between October 1, 2026 and March 31, 2027, according to a notification issued by the Petroleum Planning and Analysis Cell (PPAC) under the oil ministry.
