It is too bad that they can't sell gas lower than the allowed price. I guess they will just have to be forced to have higher profits.

You do realize that this article is about NG prices in India...Right? And, if you do...how does this have anything to do with the US politicians and Supreme Court?

Naturally, at prices set by the government! If they sell lower the prices the government gets less taxes among other things, from them and us. It's time to change the Washington politicians who think they have life time appointments like the Supreme Court. This is partially due to our own complacency though. We need to nominate stronger people to run against this current Washington crap and vote them out of office. Most have been in office 20 + years and do very little in the way of helping the American people!

Let's see, if companies charge
MORE than competitors or the market price they're gouging LESS than competitors or the market price they're monopolistic THE SAME as competitors or the market price and they're colluding.

Problem is if they can charge less they can also charge more. Controls don't always work in perfection.

Bad news. Government or the Courts should never set the price for products to be sold. Consumers should be the one to set the price by buying or not.

Somewhat related in that it illustrates one issue when a country sets prices. When a government sets artificially low prices, it can sometimes result in a loss when selling. Also will lead to illegal selling at higher prices, when supply is short due to a company unable to sell at a low set price.
