MUMBAI|NEW DELHI: Reliance Industries (RIL) and joint venture partner BP Plc are moving towards ending their dispute with the government on gas pricing, but are yet to officially approve the proposal for it, industry sources said. RIL and BP declined to comment on the matter.

RIL, BP and their partner Canada's Niko Resources are contemplating pulling out of the arbitration against the government as the government's policy changes announced in March requires them to drop the case if they want to accept the higher gas prices being offered.

Private explorer Reliance Industries (RIL), which is targeting to start production of coal bed methane (CBM) from its Sohagpur (West) block in Madhya Pradesh in FY17, has sought marketing and pricing freedom for the commodity.

On May 17, petroleum minister Dharmendra Pradhan reviewed the CBM output in the country that is still lagging way behind targets with the output being a meagre one million standard cubic metres per day (mmscmd).

MUMBAI: Reliance Industries has started handing out increments and bonuses to its 20,000 employees with junior & middle managers receiving raises of 8-10%. Letters were issued to these employees on Friday, while senior managers will receive theirs along with variable pay this week.

RIL had reported a net profit of Rs 7,398 crore in the March quarter, the highest in eight years. It paid 100% of variable pay or annual cash bonus (ACB) to junior and middle managers.

Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL) is perusing whether to withdraw a pending arbitration with the government on the gas price issue so that it can benefit from the higher prices.

The company's top management is understood to be looking into two divergent views of whether to drop the arbitration to gain from the near doubling of gas prices or carry on with the two-year-old case. "There is a view in favour of continuing with the case, while a second one favours dropping the arbitration. Both the views have been presented to the top management and the board will take a final call," said a senior executive close to the development. An e-mail sent to the firm remained unanswered.
