[[India-Oman relations]] India has an embassy in Muscat, Oman. The Indian consulate was opened in Muscat in February 1955, and five years later it was upgraded to a consulate general and later developed into a full-fledged embassy in 1971. The first ambassador of India arrived in Muscat in 1973. Oman established its embassy in New Delhi in 1972 and a consulate general in Mumbai in 1976. India has been considering the construction of a 1,100-km-long underwater gas pipeline from Oman for transporting natural gas. Called the South Asia Gas Enterprise (SAGE), it will act as an alternative to the [[Iran–Pakistan–India pipeline]]. The proposed sub-sea pipeline will meet the additional gas requirement of the [[UAE]], Oman, and India, besides easing gas transportation issues of producing countries like [[Turkmenistan]], [[Iran]] and [[Qatar]]. The project has been slow in materialising although it was first mooted in 1985.<ref>{{cite news|title=IOC seeks nod to join deep sea gas pipeline project of SAGE|url=http://www.thehindu.com/business/companies/article3547257.ece|access-date=20 December 2012|newspaper=The Hindu|date=19 June 2012}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=India considering deepwater gas pipeline from Oman: Report|url=http://articles.economictimes.indiatimes.com/2010-09-20/news/27602807_1_gas-pipeline-south-asia-gas-enterprise-oman|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110812051231/http://articles.economictimes.indiatimes.com/2010-09-20/news/27602807_1_gas-pipeline-south-asia-gas-enterprise-oman|url-status=dead|archive-date=12 August 2011|access-date=20 December 2012|newspaper=The Economic Times|date=20 September 2010}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=The Oman-India Gas Pipeline Project: Need to Resurrect Again|url=http://www.ipcs.org/article/india/the-oman-india-gas-pipeline-project-need-to-resurrect-again-503.html|access-date=20 December 2012}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/India-Iran-and-Oman-go-under-sea-to-build-pipelines-change-geopolitics/articleshow/31227746.cms|title=India, Iran and Oman go under sea to build pipelines, change geopolitics – Times of India|website=The Times of India|date=March 2014 |access-date=4 January 2019}}</ref> $5.6 bn Oman-India energy pipeline plans progressing: Fox Petroleum Group envisions a roughly five-year timeframe for the execution of the pipeline project.<ref name="omanobserver.om">{{cite web |url=http://omanobserver.om/5-6-bn-oman-india-energy-pipeline-plans-progressing/ |title=$5.6 bn Oman-India energy pipeline plans progressing |date=26 May 2015 |first=Conrad |last=Prabhu |access-date=25 October 2015 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150701012600/http://omanobserver.om/5-6-bn-oman-india-energy-pipeline-plans-progressing/ |archive-date=1 July 2015}}</ref> Ajay Kumar, the chairman and managing director of Fox Petroleum, based in New Delhi, which is an associate company of Fox Petroleum FZC in the UAE, said that Mr Modi had "fired the best weapon of economic development and growth". "He has given a red carpet for global players to invest in India," Mr Kumar added. "It will boost all sectors of industry – especially for small-scale manufacturing units and heavy industries too. Ajay Kumar, chairman and managing director of Fox Petroleum, said, “In the last few years, deepsea gas pipeline technology has matured. Since India has serious security concerns with regard to pipeline projects over land, a deepsea pipeline is probably the most promising option. This 1,600-kilometer OIMPP project intends to transport 8 trillion cubic feet of natural gas to India over a period of 20 years. The pipeline is planned to be about 1,300 kilometers long in Phase I, and 300 kilometers more to connect Mumbai, laid at a depth of 3,400 meters below the seabed. It will connect the Middle East Compression Station near Oman with the receiving terminal near Gujarat.” A week prior to the Iran-P5+1 Framework Agreement, Fox Petroleum issued a proposal for the construction of the Oman-India Multi-Purpose Pipeline (OIMPP), a deep water pipeline system to transport Iranian natural gas via Oman to a receiving terminal on the coast of India's Gujarat state. Costing an estimated $5.6 billion, the 1,600 km pipeline would transport 8 trillion cubic meters over a 20-year period. Citing recent advances in deep-sea pipeline technology, Fox Petroleum's chairman asserted that gas imports to India via OIMPP would be less expensive than India's LNG imports by $1.5–2 per million BTU. The same pipeline system could also be used to transport natural gas from Qatar to India, thereby creating a nexus of Persian Gulf natural gas suppliers oriented toward supplying the world's fast growing major economy. And, as Modi intimated in Ashgabat the potential would even exist for Turkmenistan to export its gas to India across Iran and via the undersea pipeline.
