Petronet to Import 0.8 mt of LNG from Qatar This Fiscal

India’s Petronet LNG has agreed to buy 0.8 million tonne of liquefied natural gas (LNG) from Qatar's RasGas in the current financial year, a company source told news agency Reuters on Wednesday.

Company’s 10-million-tonne-a-year Dahej regassification terminal in western Indian state of Gujarat will be used to import the fuel, the news agency adds.

Petronet currently imports 7.5 million tonnes a year of LNG from RasGas under a long-term deal. The one-year deal is separate from the long-term contract that the Indian firm has with RasGas, says Reuters.
