Petronet LNG Clarifies Force Majeure Extension Rumors

Petronet LNG Ltd has responded to queries from NSE and BSE regarding a media article about QatarEnergy potentially extending its Force Majeure until mid-October 2026. The company stated it is not aware of such an extension. Petronet LNG previously informed exchanges on March 5, 2026, about QatarEnergy's Force Majeure notice and its subsequent declaration to offtakers (GAIL, IOCL, BPCL). The ongoing hostilities and Strait of Hormuz blockage are cited as reasons for the persisting Force Majeure situation. Petronet LNG is taking steps to mitigate the impact.
