Oman Becomes India's Leading LNG Supplier Amid Strait of Hormuz Disruptions
In September, Oman became India's top liquefied natural gas (LNG) supplier, surpassing the US amid increased European demand for American gas and disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz. India maintained higher LNG imports year-on-year by diversifying sources, including Nigeria and the UAE, despite higher spot market prices. The government prioritized securing supplies from non-Hormuz-dependent routes to meet demand from industries such as power, fertiliser, and city gas distribution, reflecting a strategic shift in sourcing amid regional tensions.
