India’s largest LNG supplier Qatar on Sunday urged the central government to include natural gas in GST to help create demand for the environment friendly fuel and raise its share in the country’s energy basket.
Speaking at Petrotech conference here, Qatar Gas CEO Khalid Bin Khalifa Al-Thani said India is very important market for Qatar.
“If there is change in demand worldwide we will see it in India especially in fossile fuel,” he said.
Qatar supplies 8.5 million tonnes a year of liquefied natural gas to India. It is the country’s single largest source of imported gas, supplying about 40 per cent of all overseas shipments reaching India.
He said the country needs to build infrastructure so that clean fuel can reach all corners.
