UPSC 2019: Consider the following statements: 1. Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board (PNGRB) is the first regulatory body set up by the Government of India. 2. One of the tasks of PNGRB is to ensure competitive markets for gas. 3. Appeals against the decisions of PNGRB go before the Appellate Tribunals for Electricity. Which of the statements given above are correct?
(a)1 and 2 only
(b)2 and 3 only
(c)1 and 3 only
(d)1, 2 and 3
Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (b) 2 and 3 only
PNGRB was set up in 2007; earlier regulators like SEBI (1992) and TRAI (1997) existed, so statement 1 is false. Promoting competitive markets for natural gas is explicitly in its mandate, making statement 2 true. Appeals against PNGRB orders lie to the Appellate Tribunal for Electricity under the 2006 Act, so statement 3 is true. Hence only statements 2 and 3 are correct (option b).
