India’s new government likely to hasten inclusion of LNG in single-tax GST regime

The Indian energy sector is betting big on inclusion of liquefied natural gas in the goods and service tax (GST), following the electoral mandate received by the right-wing Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to form the federal government for a second term

The industry reckons that with the BJP-led government receiving an overwhelming majority at the recently concluded national elections, the new government in New Delhi will have sufficient political capital to push ahead with reforming the energy sector.
