India mulls oil pipeline to Myanmar

Pushing ahead with its ‘oil and energy diplomacy’ in neighbouring countries, India is considering building an oil pipeline to connect refineries in its north-eastern provinces to consumer centers in Myanmar.

According to senior government officials in Petroleum and Natural Gas Ministry, several Indian oil refiner-marketers have already started marketing petroleum products in neighbouring Myanmar and that the construction of a pipeline was the “logical extension of India deepening its economic cooperation with countries in the region”.
