Liquefied natural gas (LNG) supplies from Qatar to India could be impacted following Iranian ​strikes on energy facilities in the Middle Eastern ‌nation, a government official has said, as per Reuters.

India, the world’s fourth-largest LNG importer, relies on Qatar for about 41 per cent of its gas ​imports.

In 2024-25, India imported over 27 million metric tons ​of LNG, with Qatar supplying 11.2m tons, ⁠according to government data.

“(LNG) capacity of Qatar has been ​hit, this will hit us too,” Sujata Sharma, a ​joint secretary in the federal oil ministry, told a news conference. India is Qatar’s second biggest LNG customer.

He said two of Qatar’s 14 LNG trains and one of its two gas-to-liquids (GTL) facilities were damaged, with repairs expected to sideline 12.8m tons per ​year of ⁠LNG for three to five years.
