The meeting was briefed about the demand, supply from the domestic reserves, shortfall and Import of LNG.

It was informed that the current constrained demand of gas in the country is 4700 MMCFD which increases to 6000-6500 MMCFD during the winter season.

The current domestic supply amounts to 3300 MMCFD which is decreasing every year. The resulting shortfall has to be managed by importing LNG. With the current infrastructure a shortfall of nearly 1000 MMCFD in winters arises for which multiple options are being adopted.

For short term, the existing capacity of domestic terminals is being optimized and the process of issuance of virtual pipeline licenses is expedited. In addition, the installation of 2 new LNG Terminals is underway with all bottlenecks being removed on priority basis.
