LNG

Gas Authority of India (GAIL), the nation’s main natural gas pipeline operator and a leading LNG importer with US volumes from Cove Point in Maryland and also contracted from Russia’s Gazprom, reported record results and aimed to tie-up more gas supplies under contract to cover growing demand.

Shipments of LNG to India dropped for an eighth straight month during April, falling by over 13 percent as costs jumped and rising domestic natural gas production prevented gas shortages while GAIL India also increased pipeline network connections in Punjab.
