India LNG Industry Segmentation

LNG is natural gas that has been cooled to a liquid state, at about -260° F, for shipping and storage. The volume of natural gas in its liquid form is about 600 times smaller than in its gaseous state. This process makes it possible to transport natural gas to places pipelines do not reach. The LNG market is segmented by LNG infrastructure and LNG trade. By LNG infrastructure, the market is segmented into LNG liquefaction plants, LNG regasification facilities, and LNG shipping. By application, the market is segmented into city gas distribution, petrochemicals, and other applications. The report also covers the market size and forecasts for the LNG market across major regions. For each segment, the market sizing and forecasts have been done based on revenue (USD billion).

India LNG Market Size Summary

The India LNG market is poised for significant growth, driven by increasing demand for gas power generation and the expansion of LNG-fueled fleets. The market has rebounded to pre-pandemic levels after the setbacks caused by COVID-19. Despite challenges such as LNG oversupply and trade tensions, the market is expected to benefit from numerous LNG regasification projects in the pipeline, presenting ample opportunities for market players. The City Gas Distribution sector, encompassing PNG connections and CNG stations, is anticipated to dominate the market, supported by government initiatives aimed at increasing the share of natural gas in the energy mix. The completion of multiple CGD bidding rounds and the expansion of natural gas infrastructure are expected to further bolster the market.

The rise in LNG bunkering infrastructure is attributed to the growing preference for LNG as a marine fuel, driven by its clean emission benefits. Several ports are developing LNG fueling infrastructure, with India emerging as a regional hotspot for the LNG market. Notable projects, such as the development of a dedicated LNG bunkering facility in Karnataka, are set to enhance the country's LNG import capacity. Major industry players, including JSW Infrastructure, Shell PLC, Adani Total Gas, and Petronet LNG Ltd., are actively investing in expanding LNG terminals and infrastructure. These developments, along with strategic investments and government support, are expected to propel the growth of the Indian LNG market in the coming years.
