The petroleum ministry has turned down the demand of Gail (India) Ltd that it be allowed to market the liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) produced by it.
However, it has moved a Cabinet note for allowing all domestic LPG producers, including Gail, Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC) and Oil India Limited (OIL), to sell the surplus, left after meeting the demand for cooking gas, to parallel marketers in the private sector.
