1.3 On notification of these guidelines, the New Domestic Gas Pricing Guidelines, 2014 and the Gas Utilization Policy announced earlier from time to time shall not be applicable to CBM gas.

1.4 These provisions regarding marketing and pricing freedom along with the minimum price for determining the 'Government take' shall also be applicable to the blocks where pricing formula/basis has been approved earlier by the Government.
