Qatar LNG disruption: JM Financial explains impact on Petronet, GAIL, Gujarat Gas

A disruption at Qatar’s LNG plant, which supplies nearly 40–50% of India’s LNG imports, could create a short-term supply shock for the domestic gas market, according to JM Financial analyst Dayanand Mittal. Petronet LNG may face the biggest impact as about half its volumes come from Qatar, while companies such as Gujarat Gas and GAIL could also see pressure due to higher spot LNG prices and lower transmission volumes. The disruption may last about a month, potentially affecting earnings and gas supply across the sector.
