Natural gas demand is expected to grow rapidly in India over the next decade as overall energy use surges to keep pace with accelerating economic growth.
Gas will form an important part of the nations primary energy mix as part of efforts to develop clean power generation and provide expanding industries with a clean energy solution.
In spite of recent discoveries, indigenous gas reserves are insufficient to meet total demand and LNG and piped gas imports will fill the supply gap.
India currently is planning to build several new LNG import terminals to expand its LNG import programme that by 2012 is expected to account for about 35 percent of total supplies.
