India plans to become gas-based economy: Pradhan
India plans to shift to a gas-based economy by boosting domestic production and buying cheap liquefied natural gas (LNG), Oil minister Dharmendra Pradhan has said. The move would help India – the world’s third-biggest oil importer – curb its greenhouse emissions, keeping in-line with the government's target of shaving a third off the country's emissions rate by 2030, he added.
