The petroleum minister of India has said that New Delhi is willing to sell gas to Pakistan.
“Our public sector units are strong enough to sell LNG to Pakistan’s domestic sector at a cheaper rate than what the neighbouring nation is buying at currently,” BusinessLine newspaper quoted Pradhan as having said.
Due to diplomatic and geopolitical issues involved, the proposal to sell gas to Pakistan was on hold, Pradhan said while speaking at an event in the Indian capital.
According to the deal, the LNG to be sold to Pakistan would be imported through terminals in Maharashtra or Gujarat and transported to Jalandhar using GAIL’s existing pipeline network. It will then have to be gassified to send to Pakistan.
