Petronet LNG in talks with Qatar over delayed LNG cargoes

Petronet LNG is in discussions with Qatar, its largest LNG supplier, to secure delivery of approximately 90 liquefied natural gas (LNG) cargoes that have been delayed. These delays are primarily attributed to the West Asia crisis, with 75-80 cargoes under the existing contract affected. Additionally, 15-16 cargoes were not delivered in the 2015-16 period due to pricing disputes. Qatar supplies Petronet with 7.5 million metric tons of LNG annually, equivalent to about 9-10 cargoes per month.
