The Anil Dhirubhai Ambani group (ADAG) has accused the petroleum ministry of “misleading” the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) by claiming that RIL is required to sell natural gas as per the Gas Utilisation Policy of the government.
ADAG issued a statement on petroleum ministry’s response, saying the Production Sharing Contract (PSC) gives contractors freedom to market the gas. The PMO has sought comments from the oil ministry on a letter from Anil Ambani.
“Petroleum ministry is intentionally and deliberately misleading the PMO and public at large by claiming that PSC required RIL to sell natural gas as per the Gas Utilisation Policy of the Government,” it said. ADAG, which is locked in a bitter dispute on sourcing of gas from the Mukesh Ambani-led RIL, repeated its earlier stand that the petroleum ministry should terminate the KG-D6 contract if it feels the PSC had been violated.
