Meaning of getting gas in Andaman
Finding gas in the Andaman Basin is an important discovery, but it can only be called the beginning. Because it is too early to decide whether gas will be produced there on a large scale or not and whether it will be economically feasible to sell it. This is also because it is not yet known what the quality of the gas is, where it came from, how much energy it contains etc.
