Bangladesh may allow transmission of gas to India from Myanmar
The project for laying pipeline for transmission of gas to India from Myanmar through Bangladesh is likely to receive
government's nod.
The ministry of energy and mineral resources is going to send the proposal to the highest office of the government as
early as possible for approval. If the proposal is approved, a gas transmission line will connect Bangladesh with
Myanmar and India.
The natural gas to be lifted from the reserves in Akyab area in Myanmar will pass through a section of the gas
transmission network in Bangladesh to India’s West Bengal state.
An Indo-Korean consortium discovered vast gas reserves in the offshore Myanmar. A component of the consortium
announced it's plans of investing more than $ 800 mm for transportation of Myanmar's gas to India.
