GAIL Signs Long-Term LNG Purchase Agreement with ADNOC LNG

GAIL (India) Limited has successfully concluded a long-term LNG purchase agreement for the purchase of around 0.5 MMTPA LNG from ADNOC Gas. "This is pursuant to an MoU dated October 30, 2022 between GAIL and Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) P.J.S.C wherein Parties agreed that, in potential areas of collaboration both parties shall explore opportunities including purchase of LNG by GAIL from ADNOC for a tenure ranging from short term to medium and long-term," GAIL said in an official statement.

Under this agreement, the deliveries will commence from 2026 onwards for a duration of 10 years, across India. This arrangement is believed to further aid in India’s rising energy security requirements and, simultaneously, also fuel GAIL’s strategic growth objectives to cater to its downstream customers in the rapidly evolving Natural Gas landscape of the country.

Speaking on this, GAIL's Chairman & Managing Director (CMD) Sandeep Kumar Gupta said on this long-term LNG deal that this long-term LNG deal with ADNOC by GAIL will contribute to bridging gap in India’s demand and supply of natural gas and will open more avenues of strategic partnership between GAIL and ADNOC in other areas of energy domain.
