New Delhi: Jan 29: India will export surplus diesel to Myanmar even as New Delhi was exploring the possibility of building a pipeline to import gas from the offshore area of that country.

"Numaligarh Refinery Ltd is to begin exporting diesel by road to Myanmar likely by July," Petroleum Secretary BK Chaturvedi told reporters after meeting Myanmar's Energy Minister Lun Thi.
NRL will also explore the possibility of laying a pipeline to Rangoon for supplying diesel.
Chaturvedi said Gas Authority of India Ltd (GAIL) will conduct a feasibility study for bringing gas from A-I Block in off-shore Myanmar where four to six trillion cubic feet (TFC) of gas reserves were discovered earlier this month.
ONGC Videsh has 20 per cent stake in A-I Block while GAIL has 10 per cent stake.
