Dhaka ,Rangoon and New Delhi are set to sign a transnational deal by April on an overland pipeline project involving a private sector consortium to transmit Burmese gas through Bangladesh to India. At the same time, Dhaka and Delhi are expected to sign a bilateral agreement granting Bangladesh access to the low-cost hydroelectricity of Nepal and Bhutan using India's power grid and a trade corridor to the Himalayan kingdoms through Indian territory. The accord will also provide for measures to reduce trade imbalance between the two neighbours.
