LNG

Indian liquefied natural gas imports went into reverse last month and fell by more than 7 percent even as prices declined and more regasification infrastructure was put in place, while the need for imports was offset by growth in domestic gas output, including coal-bed methane.

Reliance Industries, the Indian conglomerate and a leading energy company supplying rising domestic gas volumes to supplement LNG imports, reported an increase in earnings across its energy division and the start-up soon of a third gas field in the Krishna Godavari Basin KG-D6 block on the East Coast of India.
