India, Pakistan Proper Market for Iran Gas: IGU

TEHRAN, Nov. 24 (Shana) – Chairman of Coordination Committee of the International Gas Union (IGU) said on Tuesday India and Pakistan are considered a special market for Iran’s gas considering their developing economies.

“Iran has the capacity to increase it gas export and boost presence in the global markets,” Menelaos Ydreos said on the sidelines of an IGU meeting, adding that Iran’s gas industry is advanced and systematic.

New Delhi and Islamabad are substituting natural gas with LNG, he said, “More that 50 percent of the world’s gas is used in Asia. Therefore, there is the potential to supply India and Pakistan with Iran’s gas.”

The gasline can be extended to India and China via Pakistan.
