Global energy major Royal Dutch Shell is in talks with the Andhra Pradesh government for buying up to 24% stake in the planned Kakinada liquefied natural gas project on the east coast, GAIL chairman B C Tripathi said on Monday.
"Shell is in talks with the Andhra Pradesh government for a stake in the project. Up to 24% is available," he told reporters.
