The PNGRB has left unchanged its interim levelized tariff order for the controversial Rs 17, 240 crore East West Natural Gas pipeline. The new "final" rates are three times of what its owners are currently charging customers and are significantly higher than the previously notified rates. 8The pipeline was taken over from the promoter group, made up of the RIL brass by Canadian super fund Brookfield, soon after the tripling of tariff rates -- from what is being charged -- was announced by the regulator through an interim order. 8The pipeline was recently in the limelight after Dutch investigators claimed that they have arrested three former employees of a local company which was involved in the construction of the pipeline for over-invoicing the cost of materials to the extent of an estimated $1.1 billion. The money was reportedly funneled back through a web of intricate transactions to a promoter group of Reliance Industries Ltd. The latter, however, denied these allegations. 8The tariff rate was determined based on a review by an "internationally reputed consultant appointed through bidding" by the PNGRB. 8The PNGRB, however, said that the tariff order is subject to further validation of cost data by its internal team or by an agency to be appointed by it Click on Reports for the PNGRB order and on Details for analysis.
