NEW DELHI (Reuters) - India's biggest state-owned natural gas supplier and marketer, Gail Ltd, will get its first gas cargo from Gazprom in May, its chairman told Reuters.
"We plan to get half a million tonne of gas this year, which means around 8 cargoes," Gail Chairman and Managing Director B C Tripathi said.
Gail also plans to source up to 5 million tonnes or 80 cargoes of liquefied natural gas (LNG) from the US in the current year.
The company's 4,000 kilometre of the national gas grid will be ready by December 2022, Tripathi said, adding India's its Mangalore-Kochi pipeline will be ready by November 2018.
