Qatar is in talks to sell more liquefied natural gas (LNG) to India, its energy minister said on Tuesday.

Abdullah al-Attiyah is due to visit New Delhi next week. Qatar currently sells 7.5 million tonnes of LNG a year to India, he told reporters ahead of a Wednesday OPEC meeting.

OPEC oil producers were likely to leave their oil output ceiling unchanged at the meeting, Attiyah said.

He told reporters that the group will discuss compliance with current curbs at the meeting and that he saw the oil market as well supplied.

Asia was playing the leading role in the revival of demand, Attiyah said.

"China is playing a very important role and so is India, we are seeing the growth coming from Asia," he said.
