With India having spurned U.S. advice on dealing with Iran, the one-day visit of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to New Delhi on April 29 will have energy as the focus. The pending $22 billion LNG deal, the $7.4 billion Iran-Pakistan-India pipeline and exploration and production joint ventures in Iran will top the high-level talks between the two countries. Mr. Ahmadinejad's visit comes at a significant time when India is working aggressively in the world theatre to acquire oil and gas assets in an attempt to meet its growing demand for energy.

For every $1 invested in improving energy efficiency, we would save more than $2 in infrastructure investment BY NOELEEN HEYZER
