Moscow, Delhi to explore overland transportation of Russian hydrocarbons to India

MOSCOW. Oct 21 (Interfax) - Russia and India plan to explore the possibility of organizing direct overland transportation of hydrocarbons from Russia to India.

The statement says that shipments of liquefied natural gas to India "would strengthen India's energy security and diversify exports from Russia."
