Sample information from report:

Gas is likely to be India's fuel of the future. India's natural gas reserves are currently estimated (as of January 2005) at about 29-32 trillion cubic feet (tcf), or about 0.5% of the world total. India does not rank in the top 20 of the world's greatest natural gas consumers yet, but that will soon change. Natural gas has experienced the fastest rate of increase of any fuel in India's primary energy supply. The share of gas in the Indian energy basket is increasing and is expected to grow to 20%, from the present 4%, by the year 2025.

The Indian gas market is in a transition phase, moving away from a supply-constrained situation to a multi-source, multi-market entity that is slowly but surely getting aligned to global trends. The government will not be able to persist with its policy of artificially fixing gas prices. Current producers such as the PMT consortium, producers of coal bed methane, as well as future producers of gas, such as Reliance Industries (Krishna Godawari basin) and Gujarat state petroleum company, would determine the market pricing of gas in the future.
