It won't be as hard as Qatar-India. The pipeline already comes till UAE, Dibba. From there to Gwadar is hard, but bigger pipelines have been made to work as well.

Just imagine the route, Qatar, persian gulf, UAE, Arabian Sea, Pakistan. We just have to work on Arabian sea, though. I think costs will have to be worked out. Since obviously transit fee would have to be paid to UAE. Maybe India will want in as well once the Iran-Pak-Ind gasline starts working and more trust is built.

India already gets gas from qatar the deal was done in 2001 and the supply started from Dec 2003.And also is planning on working with burma for a gasline linking it to W bengal.

yeah thru tankers.

but i think since india has got major LNG terminals in extremne south as well as in northern coast,india wont be too keen using pipeline.extending a pipeline to south will be more costly and also india will also have to set up two different pipelines to these two ports.
For pakistan it doesnt matter as gwadar or karachi both isnt that far away and has to serve geographivcally a smaller and same area.
