The third round bidding might be dominated by China, Japan, Russia, Thailand, Malaysia and India.

Since they want guarantee for 20 years for uninterrupted gas supply we cannot compromise on the price and they have to pay more than $2.

They have offered a price even less than the present domestic price, how can we agree to that?

The crisis of diesel should not be seen as scanty stock.

If they seek a guarantee, the price will have to be higher.

We could not reach agreement mainly on gas pricing and there will be no further negotiations on this (for now).
