India's LNG Buyers Seek Flexible Long-Term Deals to Mitigate Supply Risks
India's LNG buyers are seeking more flexible long-term supply contracts following disruptions caused by the Iran war near the Strait of Hormuz, which nearly halted imports from Qatar. Gujarat Energy signed a 10-year deal with UAE's ADNOC for 4 million tonnes of LNG starting in 2028. Petronet LNG is negotiating to include US-sourced LNG in its renewed 20-year contract with QatarEnergy to reduce reliance on fixed sources and mitigate regional risks. Portfolio contracts offer buyers protection by sourcing replacement cargoes globally during disruptions.
