Pakistan May Import Qatari LNG Via India

Pakistan is considering importing liquefied natural gas (LNG) from Qatar via India, which will receive the gas at its terminal and supply through a planned pipeline from its territory to Pakistan’s border.

“A proposal was under consideration for import of LNG through a terminal in India,” Secretary Petroleum Waqar Masood told The Express Tribune.

Pakistan also has plans to import LNG directly from India via pipeline. Import of Qatari LNG would be separate from this programme, the newspaper said. The two countries are expected to discuss this matter on Thursday.

India has offered supply of 200 million cubic feet per day (mmcfd) of LNG for a period of five years.
