“It would be very promising and interesting to enter such a fast-growing market through a pipeline. But here we face many difficulties. The first is geographical,” the expert said.
Russian gas can reach India via the Middle East and Central Asian countries. According to Kapitonov, one of the most realistic options is to create a corridor through Turkmenistan. The latter is now actively looking for alternative channels to sell its gas.
The economist suggests that another option for delivering Russian gas to India is a swap with Iran, but Kapitonov said that option now seems wishful thinking because of India’s relations with Pakistan.
It is also possible to build a pipeline directly to India via the Arabian Sea, but the economist concluded that such construction is complicated by the great depths.
