Turkmen deal boosts Afghan pipeline project
Representatives from India's state-owned Gail Ltd and Pakistan's privately run Pakistan's Inter State Gas System travelled to Turkmenistan to formalise the deal today to receive gas through a pipeline projected to pump 90 million cubic metres a day.
Information on prices and the amount of gas to be purchased by specific nations has not been made public. With a sales deal in place, the challenge of building a gas route through dangerous territories remains.
