Commenting, Prashant Modi, said:

“Natural resources are a key part of the future development of the Indian economy and within that coal bed methane is a key element. India has limited domestic natural oil and gas resources and so over recent years the economy has been forced to be dragged in imported resources. This has had a corresponding impact on the countries balance of payments and the cost of raw materials”.
