 "Govt seeks better LNG deal by teaming up with South Korea and Japan")
The country plans to more than double its liquefied natural gas (LNG) import capacity to 50 million tonnes in the next one year, Oil Minister Dharmendra Pradhan told a news conference on Thursday.
It has a capacity to import 21 million tonnes of the super-cooled fuel currently.
As the nation moves to a gas-based economy, India wants to increase the share of natural gas in its energy mix to 15 per cent in the next three-to-four years, from 6.5 per cent now, Pradhan said.
