“The price is likely to be set at $5.5 per barrel of diesel while the international price is between $5 to $6,” sources said.  
During the meeting, different things were addressed which comprise--importing gas from Tripura, consortium of four nations to import gas from Myanmar, supply of LNG (Liquefied natural gas) from Indian Oil Company, RLNG (Regasified liquefied natural gas) and LPG (Liquefied petroleum gas) supply from Adani, placing re-gasification unit jointly by the Petronet and Petrobangla, BPC (Bangladesh Petroleum corporation) and NRL (Numaligarh Refinery Ltd), finalising the agendas of purchasing and selling of diesel in between BPC and NRL, training programme for developing skills manpower for energy sector of Bangladesh.     
“Any kind of training programme will be executed in accordance to the demand of Bangladesh. The graduate students can be trained and sent to the Diploma courses. Tripura has not sufficient amount of gas right now, so in future it can be counted into consideration,” State Minister for Petroleum and Natural gas Dharmendra Pradhan.

State Minister for Petroleum and Natural gas of India Dharmendra Pradhan will have a conversation personally with the steering committee and Turkmenistan.”

The high officials from each ministry were present at that time.
