Expanding liquefied natural gas (LNG) import capacity alone will not be enough to drive India's long-term natural gas growth, with the country needing faster investment in pipeline infrastructure, gas distribution networks, gas-intensive industries and sweeping reforms to pricing and market design, according to a report by the International Gas Union (IGU).
While India has significantly increased its LNG regasification capacity in recent years, investment in transmission and distribution infrastructure has failed to keep pace, limiting the country's ability to expand gas consumption, the report said.
