New Delhi: India, which is facing a severe power crisis, has now requested Qatar to expedite the supply of natural gas. 58 ships of LNG from Qatar are coming to India. But the supply is getting delayed. With Qatar's state-owned Qatar gas maintenance work going on, 50 ships of LNG to India this year are being delayed.

As power generation is being disrupted due to difficulties in the supply of coal in India, efforts are now being made to get the supply of liquidated natural gas (LNG) at the earliest. The Oil Ministry has now written to Qatar Gas requesting it to send the supply at the earliest. The supply that India was supposed to get last year itself has not been completed. Because the demand for gas had come down drastically due to lockdown last year.

Petronet LNG, the largest importer of gas in India, has contracted to buy 7.5 million tonnes of LNG every year from Qatar. It also has an agreement to buy 1.44 million tonnes of LNG every year from Exxon Company from Australia.
