BACKGROUND OF THE CASE:

2000: KG-D6 (Krishna Godavari basin off Andhra coast) block with a contract area of 7645 sq kms awarded to a consortium of RIL and Niko Resources Limited. Central government and this consortium entered into a Production Sharing Contract (PSC) for exploration of natural gas.

2004: RIL signed a contract with NTPC to supply gas for its power plants at $ 2.34  (Rs 146.90)  mmbtu (One million British Thermal Unit) for 17 years. It also signed a similar contract with a company of the Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group called the Reliance Natural Resources Limited (RNRL)

2007: Under the RIL pressure,  the then petroleum minister Murli Deora revised the gas price to $ 4.2 mmbtu (Rs 262.25), since the company refused to supply gas to the NTPC and RNRL on the agreed price.  

2010: Supreme Court ruled that gas belongs to the people of the country and the government should act as a trustee of the people's resources.
