The Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group (ADAG) firm Reliance Infrastructure has asked the oil ministry to desist Reliance Industries (RIL) from charging marketing margin on gas and alleged that the Mukesh Ambani-led firm is not sharing the revenue with the government and diverting crores of rupees of the government’s share. RNRL has written to the petroleum secretary RS Pandey seeking to stop RIL from getting undue benefit.
On the other hand, Reliance Infrastructure has also sought to know whether RIL has been entitled to receive the marketing margin despite not sharing this part of sales with the government. Reliance Infrastructure has demanded an early resolution to the issue over the marketing margin.
Reliance Infrastructure’s complaint has coincided with the letter of state-run NTPC, which has also questioned the marketing margin being charged by RIL. The marketing margin is being charged by RIL on sale of K-G D6 gas. Such charge has been justified by the RIL contending the consideration for the risks and costs undertaken in the GSPA including risks and costs.
