Continuous fall in output triggers request as Ratnagiri plant output threatened

Falling gas production from Reliance Industries’ KG-D6 fields has led the Maharashtra government to ask the Centre to take over the wells and declare those as national assets. The state has resorted to this move as it fears that a continuing decline in gas production would severely affect power generation at Ratnagiri Gas and Power Pvt Ltd (RGPPL)’s plant, formerly Dabhol power project, which depends on the D6 wells for gas.
