The country has a demand of 2500 mmcf (million cubic feet) per day while the production is over 2000 mmcfd, the energy state minister has told parliament.
The government has increased daily production by 284 MMcf and by December 2011 another 110 MMcf would be added to the grid, Mohammad Enamul Haque told parliament in reply to a question from Nazrul Islam Manju on Sunday.
Twenty-nine districts are under the gas distribution network and it would not be wise to develop additional gas pipeline without ensuring gas supply, he added.
