“Encouraged Total to invest in infrastructure, gas pipelines, LNG terminals and petrochemicals,” Pradhan said in a tweet after a meeting with Total chairman Patrick Pouyanne.

Total has a 26 percent stake in a liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal in western India and operates 42 outlets to sell gas to automobiles.
