As of now Pakistan is suffering from a severe energy shortage and is desperately seeking augment supplies of natural gas from all the sources. Last year, Pakistan also agreed to import 400 million cubic feet gas per day of LNG from Qatar, which is expected to initialise from October 2014.
Talks with India are also in process, for supply of LNG through a 110km long pipeline. GAIL India may provide gas to the neighbour at 5million standard cubic metres per day through the proposed pipeline if the deal is locked in the future.
