Natural gas is set to play an increasingly important role in the global energy mix. Currently, gas
consumption is 24% of the total primary energy consumption globally and global gas demand is
projected to increase from 3200 BCM now to 4500 BCM by 2030 thus registering a growth rate of
almost 40%. Natural gas production in India in 2012-13 was 105 MMSCMD as compared to total
demand of 275 MMSCMD. The total LNG imports in India in 2012-13 were 52 MMSCMD i.e. 26.5% of
total gas consumption. The gas demand is expected to increase to 470 MMSCMD by the end of 2017.
However, given the domestic gas supplies outlook, sluggish progress with commercial exploitation of
unconventional resources; and also, uncertain schedule in transnational pipeline projects it is evident
that India will need larger and larger imports of LNG to meet the overall gas demand besides meeting
the gas requirements from various sectors. Moreover the recently proposed gas price hike is set to
change the dynamics of natural gas business in India.
This report entails the current scenario and forecast of natural gas production, exploration and LNG
imports in India. It provides a detailed analysis of the impact of the proposed gas price hike on the end
consumers. The report extensively covers the status of gas pipelines and latest CGD infrastructure.
The report is a ready reference for all the stakeholders in the natural gas business in India.
