IGU Report Highlights Infrastructure and Reforms Key to India's Natural Gas Growth
India's long-term natural gas growth depends on expanding LNG import capacity alongside significant investment in pipeline infrastructure, gas distribution networks, and gas-intensive industries. The International Gas Union (IGU) report highlights that while regasification capacity has increased, midstream infrastructure lags, limiting gas consumption growth. Market reforms in pricing, regulation, and access are essential. The report also notes India's heavy reliance on Gulf-sourced LNG and LPG imports, exposing vulnerabilities highlighted by recent Strait of Hormuz disruptions, which affected supply and pricing dynamics.
