Gazprom considers India a promising LNG customer

Gazprom considers India as a promising LNG market, but it is not working on supplying natural gas to the country, said Alexander Medvedev, Deputy Chairman of the Board at Gazprom.

“We see the Indian market (LNG – Ed.) as a very promising one for the sales of natural gas, but we have not undertaken work in any of the possible directions of supply,” said Mr. Medvedev.

In early June, after a meeting between India’s Energy Minister Dharmendra Pradhan and Russian Energy Minister Alexander Novak, it was learned that India had expressed interest in importing oil and LNG from Russia.
