政府已将信实工业和英国石油公司KG-D6区块等高难度油气田生产的天然气最高价格上调至每百万英热单位9.89美元，适用于10月1日起的六个月，此前为8.90美元；同时将国有企业石油天然气公司（ONGC）和印度石油公司（OIL）老油田生产的天然气最高价格维持在每百万英热单位7美元。根据石油部石油规划与分析中心（PPAC）的一份通知，深水、超深水及高压高温发现区块天然气的新上限价格适用于2026年10月1日至2027年3月31日期间。
The government has raised the ceiling price for natural gas produced from difficult fields such as the KG-D6 block of Reliance Industries and BP to $9.89 per million British thermal units for the six months beginning October 1, from $8.90 previously, while keeping the ceiling for gas produced from the legacy fields of state-run ONGC and Oil India Ltd at $ 7 per MMBtu. The new ceiling for gas from deepwater, ultra-deepwater and high-pressure, high-temperature discoveries is applicable for the period October 1, 2026 to March 31, 2027, according to a notification by the Petroleum Planning and Analysis Cell of the oil ministry.
根据政府政策，此类高难度区块生产的天然气享有营销和定价自由，但受政府公布的上限价格约束。更高的上限价格可能为开发印度技术难度更大的海上天然气资源的生产商提供一定缓解，因为这些资源的生产成本通常高于成熟陆上和老油田。
Gas produced from such difficult areas enjoys marketing and pricing freedom under the government's policy, but is subject to a government-notified ceiling. The higher ceiling could provide some relief to producers developing India's more technically challenging offshore gas resources, where production costs are generally higher than those from mature onshore and legacy fields.
对于ONGC和OIL从其指定区块生产的天然气，政府已通知10月份的行政定价机制（APM）价格为每百万英热单位11.22美元，但实际价格仍被限制在每百万英热单位7美元，据PPAC称。APM天然气价格适用于国有企业ONGC和OIL老油田生产的天然气，并供城市燃气配送、化肥和电力等优先部门使用。
For gas produced by ONGC and OIL from their nomination fields, the government has notified an APM price of $11.22 per MMBtu for October, but the actual price remains capped at $7 per MMBtu, according to PPAC. The APM gas price applies to gas produced from the legacy fields of state-owned ONGC and OIL and is used by priority sectors including city gas distribution, fertiliser and power.
对于ONGC和OIL在其指定区块新井生产的天然气，政府允许在现行APM天然气价格基础上增加10%的溢价，但受适用上限价格约束。
For gas produced from new wells of ONGC and OIL in their nomination blocks, the government allows a 10% premium over the prevailing APM gas price, subject to the applicable ceiling.
随着10月份APM价格被限制在每百万英热单位7美元，新井天然气的实际价格相应最高可达每百万英热单位7.70美元。
With the APM price for October capped at $7 per MMBtu, the effective price for new-well gas would accordingly be up to $7.70 per MMBtu.
新井天然气的较高价格旨在激励印度石油天然气公司（ONGC）和印度石油公司（OIL）投资开发更多储量并投产新产量，同时维持其老旧老油田天然气现有的价格上限。
The higher price for new-well gas is aimed at incentivising ONGC and OIL to invest in developing additional reserves and bringing new production on stream, while maintaining the existing ceiling for gas from their older, legacy fields.
印度对国家石油公司老油田天然气和困难地区新发现天然气实行单独的定价机制。
India follows separate pricing mechanisms for gas from legacy fields of national oil companies and newer discoveries in difficult areas.
2023年4月，政府将老油田天然气定价改为与月度平均原油进口价格的10%挂钩的公式，并设有下限和上限。上限最初固定为每百万英热单位6.50美元，在冻结两年后随后每年上调0.25美元。
In April 2023, the government shifted pricing of gas from legacy fields to a formula linked to 10% of the monthly average crude oil import price, subject to a floor and ceiling. The ceiling was initially fixed at $6.50 per MMBtu and was subsequently raised by $0.25 annually after a two-year freeze.
APM上限自2025年4月起提高至每百万英热单位6.75美元，并于今年4月升至7美元。
The APM ceiling was raised to $6.75 per MMBtu from April 2025 and moved to $7 in April this year.
在2023年改革之前，APM天然气价格每半年根据国际天然气基准修订一次，并大幅波动，从2021年的每百万英热单位1.79美元到2023年3月结束的六个月中的8.57美元不等。
Before the 2023 reform, APM gas prices were revised every six months based on international gas benchmarks and had fluctuated sharply, ranging from $1.79 per MMBtu in 2021 to $8.57 in the six months ended March 2023.
引入深水及其他困难油田的单独制度，旨在通过赋予生产商更大的定价和营销灵活性，鼓励对印度技术条件复杂的烃类资源进行投资。
The separate regime for deepwater and other difficult fields was introduced to encourage investment in India's technically challenging hydrocarbon resources by allowing producers greater pricing and marketing flexibility.
信实工业及其合作伙伴英国石油公司（BP）在克里希纳-戈达瓦里盆地的KG-D6区块生产天然气，该区块是印度主要的深水产气区之一。
Reliance Industries and its partner BP produce gas from the KG-D6 block in the Krishna-Godavari basin, one of India's key deepwater gas-producing areas.
天然气是化肥生产的关键原料，也用于发电和城市燃气分销商供应压缩天然气和管道天然气。因此，国内天然气价格变化会影响这些行业的投入成本。
Natural gas is a key feedstock for fertiliser production and is also used in power generation and by city gas distributors to supply compressed natural gas and piped natural gas . Changes in domestic gas prices can therefore affect input costs across these sectors.
