TOKYO -- India's imports of liquefied natural gas could reach about 30 million tons in 2020 -- a roughly 60% increase from last year -- Petroleum and Natural Gas Minister Dharmendra Pradhan told The Nikkei on a recent trip to Japan.
The country imported about 19 million tons of LNG in 2016, making it the world's fourth-largest consumer, behind Japan, South Korea and China. India's energy consumption is only expected to rise as its economy grows.
