India's H-Energy East Coast Private Ltd (HEECPL) has sought clearance for a LNG terminal in West Bengal that will also supply gas to Bangladesh, bdnews24.com, a Bangladeshi news website reports.

The proposed 8 million tonne terminal is expected to come up in Digha off the coat of West Bengal and will not only supply gas to north and east India but also Bangladesh.

A pipeline line will transport gas to Indian industrial locations. Also, the company plans a pipeline for supplying gas to Bangladesh.
