ADNOC Gas CEO Fatema Al Nuaimi said: “We are pleased to sign this long-term LNG supply agreement with Hindustan Petroleum Corporation, which reflects the strong and growing energy partnership between the UAE and India.

“This agreement underscores ADNOC Gas’ commitment to delivering reliable LNG to meet global demand, while supporting India’s ambition to increase natural gas to 15% of its energy mix by 2030.”
