gas price regulation
From a news report on a company's 2012 financial results:
Лидерами роста стали топливно-сырьевые продукты благодаря увеличению объемов производства и реализации по большинству продуктов, индексации регулируемых цен на природный газ, а также ослаблению среднего курса российского рубля по отношению к доллару США при практически неизменных котировках на нефть и нефтепродукты в долларовом выражении.
The "indexation" in question is, IMHO, a kind of an orderly price increase, controlled by the authorities etc., by a certain percentage, step by step.
What is the best way to put the phrase in English?

indexation of regulated natural gas prices/rates
"Indexation is a technique to adjust income payments by means of a price index, in order to maintain the purchasing power of the public after inflation, while Deindexation refers to the unwinding of indexation.
From a macroeconomics standpoint there are four main categories of indexation: wage indexation, financial instruments rate indexation, tax rate indexation, and exchange rate indexation. The first three are indexed to inflation. The last one is typically indexed to a foreign currency mainly the US dollar. Any of these different types of indexation can be reversed (deindexation)."

Russian term (edited):
индексация регулируемых цен на природный газ
increase in regulated natural gas prices
"regulated" also applies to "increase" hence the normative aspect of "indexation" is rendered.
