US EditionAttacks on Qatar’s LNG Facilities Could Impact India but We Have Diversified Sources as Well: Officials
Iranian missile strike stopped 20% of India’s natural gas imports from Qatar, forcing Indian firms to seek alternative LNG sources amid regional tensions, officials said.
- On Wednesday, an Iranian missile strike hit Ras Laffan Industrial City, Qatar, causing sizeable fires and extensive damage that forced a complete halt in QatarEnergy’s LNG production.
- Tehran launched the strikes in response to an Israeli hit on South Pars, part of wider US-Israeli reprisals targeting energy infrastructure and US-linked assets.
- India consumes 195 million MMSCMD of natural gas, half produced domestically and 60 MMSCMD routed via the Strait of Hormuz; Petronet LNG imports around 7.5 million tonnes per annum from Qatar.
- State-Owned firms are racing to secure alternative LNG cargoes while officials say India is trying to pick up cargoes from other sources, following the 47.4 MMSCMD disruption caused by the strike.
- Amid mounting damage assessments, the time to repair Ras Laffan will shape energy-security outcomes as Tehran’s targeting of US-linked assets and Strait of Hormuz tensions complicate supply restoration, drawing regional reactions.
