monetisation of natural gas deposits in the northeastern region can help cut down its import, while also boosting the local economy and providing more trade opportunities, a top official of the Indian Gas Exchange (IGX) said. Rajesh K Mediratta, Managing Director and CEO of IGX, the country's first automated national level gas exchange, maintained that the region can supply the surplus gas not only to other parts of the country, but also to neighbouring Bangladesh and earn significant revenue. «The Northeast has tremendous potential in the production of natural gas. As the Northeast Gas Grid is likely to become operational by 2026, the deposit of 6 million MMSCMD of natural gas can be monetised by the existing producers,» Mediratta said. «This will add to the country's energy security as IGX will help gas producers sell the surplus gas to the other regions,» he said, while speaking at a seminar on 'Gas Market Development for North East' here on Friday.

We may have a separate vertical to securitise our own assets,» IIFCL MD PR Jaishankar told PTI. «We will try to grow our assets and generate more assets with the help of the existing assets instead of taking more liabilities...the idea is that assets should beget assets incrementally. That will save the capital that will help our cost of funds go down, our profitability going up, and that will help improve our viability and quality of assets.» The idea is to hive off part of our assets, he said, adding, «We will maintain a threshold, and we will focus on increasing the sanctions and disbursements more as compared to growing the asset size or loan book size».
