Indian Gas Exchange (IGX) CEO Rajesh Kumar Mediratta advocated for an independent system operator to ensure fair access to natural gas pipelines' full capacity for all market players. He proposed the split of gas companies into separate marketing and transportation entities. He emphasised the need for a level playing field through equal access to information and charge mechanisms. Mediratta suggested measures for developing the domestic natural gas market, including bringing gas under GST and enforcing open access in city gas areas.
