🔥 “𝗡𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗚𝗮𝘀 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗚𝗦𝗧: 𝗔 𝗚𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿?” 🔥 GAIL Chairman, Sandeep Kumar Gupta, has made a compelling case for bringing natural gas under the GST regime. Here are the key takeaways:

🎯 The government needs to make bold policy interventions to achieve its goal of doubling the share of natural gas in the energy mix to 15% by 2030.

🏭 The government should mandate the use of natural gas in refineries and steel making, and make emissions a factor in the merit order for electricity dispatch. ⚖️ Natural gas should come under the GST regime, which would help gas-based power compete with coal-based supply.

🚗 Production-linked incentive (PLI) should be extended to LNG-powered vehicles and GST on CNG-powered vehicles should be slashed to 5% from 28%, on a par with electric vehicles (EVs). This move could be a game-changer for India’s energy sector. What are your thoughts?
