"The first consignment of 30 tonnes of high speed diesel was sent today from India to Myanmar by land route", said an oil ministry statement, adding that Numaligarh Refinery Ltd. exported the fuel.

Earlier, the tankers were dispatched from NRL's marketing terminal in Numaligarh to reach Moreh via Imphal. NRL has an agreement with Myanmar's PES for supply of 90 MT of diesel through the Moreh-Tamu land customs station to Myanmar on the Aisan Highway.

Numaligarh Refinery, situated 420 km from the India-Myanmar border, has tied up with Myanmar's Parami Energy Group of Companies for the supply of diesel.

The spokesperson however said that the NRL is also exploring the possibility of laying a pipeline to export diesel at a later stage. NRL had entered Myanmar with paraffin wax, selling 1,700 tonne till August from its wax plant.

AK Bhattacharya, NRL Director (T) BJ Phukan, NRL Director (F) SK Barna, Finance managers were present from India's side whereas Finance manager Kyaw Htay, Senior Manager Win Myint, Project manager Khin Mg Myint and Management head of services Soe Win were present from Myanmar's side. Present demand of petrol and diesel in Myanmar is around 3 MMTPA, while it has three small refineries which together produce 0.7 MMTPA and the balance is imported, mainly from Thailand and Singapore.
