The Indian central government will initially spend Rs 700 billion (70,000 crore) to spread gas pipelines across the country.

It is also working out plans to expand gas network to Myanmar through Bangladesh, Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan said. Dharmendra Pradhan was speaking at the three-day conference being organised jointly by National Corrosion Council of India, Karaikudi, SERPL, Central Electrochemical Research Institute and Indian Oil Corporation (IOC). The Indian central government is promoting gas based economy which needs a massive network of pipelines for transportation of natural gas to various corners of the country, he said. “In the first phase Rs 700 billion will be invested to spread gas pipeline network across the country,” the petroleum minister said while addressing the 19th National Conference on Corrosion Control organised.

Pradhan said India is planning to expand gas pipeline network to Myanmar through Bangladesh.

“Under this programme, pipelines are proposed to be constructed between Dhamra to Bangladesh and Siliguri to Bangladesh to export LNG gas according to the requirement of the neighbouring nation,” he said.

Turning to Odisha, Pradhan said the state needs a huge infrastructure to store, refine and transport the natural gas to the doorsteps of the industry from Paradip, Dhamra and Gopalpur.

He said Indian central government is contemplating to promote port-based industries in Odisha and also in other coastal states having natural ports.

A strategic oil reserve project will also be launched in Chandikhol after acquiring land there, said Pradhan. Read more
Myanmar is rich in natural resources. They have got far more natural resources than Bangladesh, Pakistan and many other states. Unfortunately the stupid burmese military junta turned Myanmar into a poor and underdeveloped country and is letting the outside world exploit their resources.

Myanmar is rich in natural resource, no doubt. But whether myanmar 'got far more natural resources than Bangladesh' is debatable. Myanmar produce gas from both onshore and off shore gas fields, while Bangladesh produce just from onshore gas fields. Still Bangladesh produce more gas than myanmar. Myanmar's internal demand is very low, that's why it export a lot of gas to Thailand and China. But our internal demand for gas is very high, that's why although we produce more, we can't export. Rather seeking LNG import to meet growing demand. Our offshore gas reserves(strong prospect of finding large amount of hydrocarbon reserve due to favorable geological features in the mouth of the Bay) are totally untapped to date.

Myanmar has reportedly few billion barrels of oil, but BD also has few billion ton coal. Myanmar is rich is forest resource. Forest areas in BD is only a small fraction of myanmar. But Bd has most fertile farmland in the world covering most of the territory. So much so that, our agricultural production is 2 times of myanmar, despite Bangladesh is just 1/4th of Myanmar in geographic size. Myanmar is rich in gem stone, we do not have gem stone, but has large limestone reserve, heavy minerals reserve in Cox's Bazar. Myanmar has hydropower potential, we do not have that much. But Bangladesh has one of the richest fishery areas the world. Every year, we collect 6 billion dollar worth Hilsa fish alone from the bay of Bengal. Our numerous rivers and waterbodies provide millions of ton fishes every year. So, Bangladesh or Myanmar, which country is more endowed with natural resources is debatable.

With the big size and tons of resources Myanmar could have become a developed country by now but the 55 year military rule made it a poor backward state.

And for that matter you can not blame anyone else other than yourself. If burmese people were less xenophobic and somewhat more tolerant about different race, ethnicity, religion then a lot of conflict would not have arisen in the first place or even if arisen could have been solved long ago peacefully. Myanmar military is exploiting fully this xenophobic nature of burmese people to their selfish interests. Military is nurturing a climate of hatred and fear among the general bamar population to maintain it's grip on the country and it's resources.

7 decades of independence and vast natural resources have not allowed savages to beat any other country in S Asia economically.

Connecting China through India is not viable. Do we want to reach Tibet through Nathu-la pass in Sikkim? This pass located in highest ridge of Himalayas which cut off in every winter due to heavy snow fall. Even India use this pass only for token communication with China.

Our only viable land route to China goes through myanmar. When China will build road connection from Kunming to Sittwe in Arakan, then there will be an opportunity to link Bangladeshi road in Cox's Bazar with that highway, thus establishing road connection with China. May be then China and Bangladesh will be able to persuade the burmese on interlinking Chinese road with that of with Bangladesh.

Good to see you rationally explain it to other members who really think that it is practical to have a freaking land route to China via Sikkim.

Our state isn't topographically the same as the lush green plains and mangroves of Bangladesh.

It's always good to have options, my boy.
And it seems I was wrong. This gas pipeline project is dead...but not since 2009, but from 2005. Good luck reviving that.

India have to give something in return...getting rid of the dumping duty on our products, could be a start too. And Myanmar have to give something as well. Taking back the Rohingyas will do.

If everything is a return on expectations then BD trade wouldnt go anywhere. BD can ask for gas connections from India. BD can ask for its trucks to enter India beyond some points for example from Dhaka to Bangalore and vice versa. Even if we build a transit to Myanmar through BD, BD will benefit in a point of time when its products can easily reach SE asia through the corridor. Some have long term plans. I think you are knowledgable enough to know it.

Oh it will be. 2005 India had what?....500 billion of market cap power projection?

Now its 5 times that and growing fast.

I need not post the commensurate energy demand that has entailed either....not with the 100% gas connection program Modi admin has successfully implemented now.

India have to give something in return

"Patronage" to PM lady....if that....given she is quite beholden to and tucked away in dada pocket. You can watch and see yourself.

getting rid of the dumping duty on our products, could be a start too.

There is no dumping duty (since India has not brought any dumping case against BD in WTO in first place). Dont mix up terms please....you actually have to learn what they are first.

If you want to address the tears/emotion-based "non-tariff barriers" that some butthurts here already are whinging about....you can simply start to open the litigation process at WTO regarding that (its pretty ridiculously easy thing to do) at ANY time (Ever since you started the rona drona cry). That is on YOU to do (to express any basic intent/claim on it so we even have some reference of what you are exactly talking about).

It will NEVER be part of any energy deal/project with India....just like it did not come up one iota in the electric network integration (and market establishment)...nor in the BBIN logistics deals.

@hellfire @Sam. @Cobra Arbok

And Myanmar have to give something as well.

Nope. Its covered substantially in Indian diplomatic patronage of BD already (and plenty of room to spare -and as we dictate and decide)

Taking back the Rohingyas will do.

Wont ever be part of this kind of deal. That is bilateral issue for you lot to deal with. @Aung Zaya

China already using Bangladesh to export its cheap goods free of duty to India. India should exclude Bangladesh from FTA.

There is no "FTA" tbh (bilateral or otherwise) in South Asia....just MFN's granted (which still allow duties and tariffs within a framework)....which are the equivalent of doing high-fives instead of actual legislation +handshake. i.e mostly optics rather than substance.

I would like to see what you mean by China exporting through BD? Need some evidence here....because that is covered by WTO strongly under rules of origin clause (even down to minute % levels needed to classify as such when talking about sourcing and value adding if multi-input). Because that would be a case that would be immediately filed and fast-tracked at WTO.

India imports tiny levels (of mostly BD made commodities with small value add) from BD in the first place.....given BD terrible infrastructure (esp logistics) and business conditions...there is no economic advantage to importing Chinese goods from there anyway.

Shut up. You know nothin.

Do you have a resource bank? :rofl:

No wonder you have an inflated, artificial economy and energy shortages.


Please source all of the claims.

This project has been dead since 2009. We shall not let it pass unless India gives us a corridor to China.

That shall be detrimental to your economy. India is glad enough to take it through the Siliguri corridor on it's own. I hope you understand the fact that there is an economic benefit for Bangladesh too.

As for corridor, I am sure that the route via Nathu La can be used by you. What gives?

Read a personal opinion based on a poll and few inaccuracies for example inference that devaluation of rupee affects common Indian or that the Central Excise accounts for high fuel costs while ignoring that the Central and State excise raise the costs in a combination, thereby allowing mopping up of taxes to pay for public welfare schemes in a country where 97% are not paying taxes. (forget the fact that fuel costs are only affecting the middle class, the same which is willing to spend Rs 300 for a ticket, Rs 500 for a combo meal and Rs 50 for a parking at iNOX but is 'affected' by Rs 500 increase in it's monthly share of fuel prices!). If this remains your takeaway from the write up as under (to quote)

"All this comes after mounting concerns over job creation in India, which is expected to have the largest working-age population in the world by 2027. While a heated debate continues over how many jobshave actually been created in Modi’s tenure, several key sectors, including agriculture, have struggled in recent years, sparking fears of India’s demographic dividend soon turning into a disaster.

But Indians are almost overwhelmingly convinced that things are better than they used to be.

Up to 65% of the respondents in the survey said the financial condition of average Indians had improved from 20 years ago, far more than the proportion recorded in all the advanced economies, including the US, UK, and Japan.

I can keep posting articles which you will disagree to defend your fascist state.

India is in difficult times, hence BJP is losing votes.

Time to build Ram temples and lynch more Muslims before elections.

India’s priorities are all mixed up.
