PNGRB Approves IGX Platform for Booking Unused LNG Regasification Capacity
The Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board (PNGRB) has approved the Indian Gas Exchange's (IGX) proposal to launch a voluntary platform for listing and booking unused liquefied natural gas (LNG) regasification capacity. This platform aims to improve infrastructure utilization by enabling terminal operators and capacity holders to offer unused slots transparently, helping buyers identify and book capacity according to demand. IGX will facilitate bookings, while commercial negotiations and settlements remain between buyers and sellers. The initiative complements efforts to enhance competitiveness in India's gas market.
