New Delhi: Minister of Petroleum & Natural Gas and Steel, Shri Dharmendra Pradhan delivered the keynote address at the 7th IEF-IGU Ministerial Gas Forum and shared my views on finding new market principles & mechanisms, including delinking LNG markets from oil markets, addressing rigidities in LNG marketing structures for expanding the global demand for LNG.
 
He Also, stressed about developing greater synergies between natural gas producing and consuming nations to seize the opportunities presented by the Covid-19 pandemic and also promote greater use of natural gas for a decarbonised and sustainable world.
 
"Happy to note that the Gujarat model is being used as a case study. We are adapting the Gujarat model across the country to transform India into a gas-based economy. Gujarat has set an example with 25% share of natural gas in primary energy mix vis-à-vis 6.3% at national level."
