Reuters exclusively reports India presses Qatar for delayed LNG as power crisis mounts

Reuters exclusively reported India has asked Qatar to expedite delivery of 58 delayed liquefied natural gas (LNG) cargoes as it grapples with its worst power crisis in five years. Infrastructure maintenance at supplier Qatargas prevented it from delivering 50 LNG cargoes to India this year, prompting India’s oil ministry last week to write a letter seeking delivery of those cargoes. Asia’s third-largest economy is suffering its worst power shortage since March 2016 due to a crippling coal shortage amid high global energy prices.
