India's natural gas output projected to rise 60% in 4 years

摘要

India's natural gas output will rise about 60% in four years, sufficient for less than 30% of the local gas demand then, according to a projection in the annual report of the Oil Ministry. The local gas production is expected to rise to 146.87 million metric standard cubic metres per day (mmscmd) in 2018-19, from 90.99-mmscmd in 2014-15. The projected output for 2014-15, however, was 98.15-mmscmd. The output is expected to touch 99.87-mm-scmd in the current fiscal year and to 112.95-mmscmd in 2016-17.
