India’s state-owned GAIL India Ltd. has secured a significant liquefied natural gas (LNG) supply agreement with Qatar, strengthening its energy ties with the Gulf nation. This five-year pact will commence in April 2025, bolstering India’s efforts to meet its growing energy demands.

Qatar Strengthens Position as India’s Leading LNG Exporter

Under the new agreement, GAIL will receive one LNG shipment every month from April 2025 to March 2030. This deal, finalised through a tender process earlier this month, reaffirms Qatar’s dominance in India’s LNG market. Last year, Qatar supplied nearly half of India’s total LNG imports, underscoring its role as a crucial energy partner.

Details of the New Agreement

The five-year contract highlights India’s strategy to secure reliable energy supplies amid fluctuating global markets. The shipments will provide consistent LNG inflow to India, supporting its growing domestic energy requirements. While neither GAIL nor QatarEnergy has publicly commented on the agreement, the pact demonstrates both countries’ commitment to deepening their energy trade partnership.

GAIL Share Performance

As of December 17, 2024, 1:51 PM, the shares of GAIL Ltd. are trading at ₹200.69 per share with a decline of 1.54% from its previous day’s closing price. Over the last month, the stock has seen a surge of 8.28%. While over the year the stock has surged by 38.43%.

Conclusion

This new LNG supply pact between GAIL and QatarEnergy marks a step forward in India’s energy security strategy. It not only strengthens bilateral energy cooperation but also ensures a steady supply of LNG to meet the country’s rising demand.
