据11月7日Gulf Times报道，印度石油部长达门德拉·普拉丹(Dharmendra Pradhan)重申了印度总理纳伦德拉·莫迪(Narendra Modi)的声明称，印度将在未来五年内投资1000亿美元建设油气基础设施，以满足印度的能源需求。

作为仅次于美国和中国的世界第三大能源消费国，印度的人均能源消费量仅为世界平均水平的三分之一左右。

普拉丹在毕马威能源与自然资源会议上表示，印度将以负责任的方式规划自己的能源转型之路，将成为未来几十年全球能源需求的主要驱动力。

他表示，在1000亿的总投资中，600亿美元将用于建设石油冶炼、能源管道、城市燃气配送网络、液化天然气（LNG）进口终端等。

他表示，印度希望更多外资流入上游的油气勘探和生产领域，以及下游的燃料和石化产品营销行业。

普拉丹还谈到了国家生物燃料政策，该政策关注于将“废料”创造出财富，目标是从农业残渣和城市垃圾中生产各种生物燃料。

India Will See $100 Billion Energy Investment - Indian Minister

ndia will see a $100 billion investment in creating oil and gas infrastructure over the next five years to meet the country's energy needs, reiterating Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s statement, Indian petroleum minister Dharmendra Pradhan said.

The world’s third largest energy consumer after the US and China, India’s per capita energy consumption is only about one-third of the world’s average.

Speaking at KPMG’s energy and natural resources conclave, Pradhan said India will chart its own course of energy transition in a responsible manner even as it is set to be a key driver of global energy demand in the coming decades.

Of the total investment, $60 billion will be invested in the creation of gas infrastructure such as oil refining, pipelines, city gas distribution networks, and LNG (liquefied natural gas) import terminals, he said.

He said the country wants more foreign investment inflow into upstream oil and gas exploration and production as well as downstream fuel marketing and petrochemicals.

Pradhan also talked about the National Biofuel policy, which focuses on waste-to-wealth creation and targets to generate various types of bio-fuels from agriculture residue and municipal waste.
