The government will set up 15,000 km of additional gas transport infrastructure under the public-private-partnership mode, finance minister Arun Jaitley said in Parliament on Thursday.
India has an existing gas pipeline network of 15,000 km and there is a necessity to add an additional 15,000 km which will be developed in the PPP mode, Jaitley said in his budget speech for the year 2014-15.
The enhanced grid will promote usage of gas, both domestic and imported, reducing dependence on one source of energy, he said.
The finance minister also said the government will accelerate exploitation from coal bed methane reserves and evaluate old and closed wells to maximise production.
