PM Narendra Modi, Nepal premier K.P. Sharma Oli, remotely attending the ground breaking ceremony of India-Nepal petroleum products pipeline, at Hyderabad house in New Delhi. Sharma Oli on Saturday remotely attended the ground breaking ceremony of South Asia’s first transnational petroleum pipeline, that will supply fuel to India’s land locked neighbour. Nepal also signed a fuel purchase deal with China, but the route between the nations presents logistic challenges. Soon after his India visit in 2016, Oli was in China looking for fuel exports to offset the shortfall of energy supplies from India.
