The Petroleum Ministry is considering a proposal to allow GAIL (
That there is a thinking that along with a move to increase the APM gas price, a proposal to levy marketing margin be considered. Currently, gas produced from fields given to ONGC and Oil India Ltd on nomination basis is sold at a controlled price or APM price.
GAIL sells this gas and is not allowed to levy a charge for marketing efforts. A proposal will be moved to the Cabinet after seeking views from the consumers. Marketing margin is charged by the gas marketing company to compensate for its efforts as well as risk borne under the gas sale and purchase agreement, which is a commercial document between the marketing company and consumer.
The sources said that GAIL has been seeking a marketing margin on APM gas for several years as it has to bear costs for external risks such as delayed payments, disputed payments, legal cases and payments getting stuck in sick companies.
