LNG Business and Market Outlook in India - 2018

Analysing Futuristic Business Potential for Domestic & Global Players

India has been on a constant economic growth path from the past two decades and this rise is coupled with increased energy consumption to thrust the fast-growing economy. Basis India’s anticipated growth aspirations, it is evident that access to abundant and economically viable energy will be crucial to sustaining the trajectory of this growth.
