The power ministry has proposed that planned subsidy for gas-based power plants be restricted to administered price mechanism (APM) gas.
This means if a power plant opts for other sources, such as non-APM gas and imported R-LNG, along with APM gas, the monetary benefits to the discom buying power would be restricted to the extent of its purchase of APM gas-based power.
