India's LNG Imports in July Up 6%

India’s LNG imports saw a 6% yr/yr growth in July to 2.96bn m3 (2mn metric tons), following a 7% decrease in June, according to the data published by the Indian oil and gas ministry's Petroleum Planning and Analysis Cell on August 20.

Imports were up almost 11% month on month, as India significantly eased its lockdown and demand for gas recovered. But cumulative imports in the first four months of the fiscal year (April 2020-March 2021) were down 7.7% yr/yr at 9.97bn m3, the data showed.
