PNGRB Approves IGX Platform to Book 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 initiative aims to improve infrastructure utilization and expand access to India's gas market by allowing terminal operators and capacity holders to offer unused slots at competitive rates. The platform will enhance price discovery and help match supply with demand, while commercial dealings remain directly between buyers and sellers. This complements PNGRB's earlier tariff zone reduction to boost LNG terminal competitiveness.
