Global LNG Prices Expected to Stay High This Winter, Raising India's Affordability Concerns
Global liquefied natural gas (LNG) prices are expected to remain high through winter due to lower European gas storage and ongoing geopolitical disruptions, raising affordability concerns for India. Spot LNG prices rose 6% week-on-week to around USD 32 per million British thermal units. Despite a recovery in Middle Eastern crude oil exports to over 90% of pre-war levels, physical crude premiums and shipping costs remain elevated, contributing to sustained energy price pressures globally and domestically in India.
