I am in agreement with the points made by you above. However, I beg to make the following observation on the possibility of a pipeline from Mynmar. The proven oil and gas fields in Mynmar is around Mytilla and Mandlay. The overland pipeline alignment into India will be the best and most economic option. You may be aware that underwater pipeline is always expensive than overland pipeline. Natural gas is not the only product that can be imported from Mynmar. It is quite possible to get even crude petrolium from Mynmar into India. It is unfortunate that we always look to the West first and neglect the East.
