ADNOC Gas signs 10-year LNG supply deal with HPCL, strengthening UAE-India energy ties and supporting India’s clean energy goals.
ADNOC Gas plc, along with its subsidiaries, has entered into a long-term agreement with Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL) for the supply of liquefied natural gas (LNG). The agreement, signed as a Heads of Agreement, outlines the delivery of 0.5 million metric tonnes per annum (mmtpa) of LNG over a span of 10 years. This strategic deal highlights ADNOC Gas’ growing global presence, especially in the high-demand markets of Asia, and solidifies its status as a dependable LNG supplier on the international stage.
This new agreement further strengthens ADNOC Gas' ongoing collaboration with key Indian energy players. It follows similar deals signed with Indian Oil Corporation and GAIL India Limited, reflecting the deepening energy ties between the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and India. These partnerships are aligned with India’s long-term goal to diversify its energy sources and increase the share of Natural Gas in its primary energy mix to 15% by the year 2030.
Fatema Al Nuaimi, CEO of ADNOC Gas, emphasized the strategic importance of this agreement by stating, “This long-term agreement with HPCL—our third such agreement with Indian companies in the last year—highlights the robust energy cooperation between the UAE and India. It is a testament to ADNOC Gas’ capacity to reliably meet the increasing global demand for LNG, while supporting India’s ambitious energy transition.”
The LNG to be supplied under this agreement will be sourced from ADNOC Gas’ Das Island liquefaction facility. Das Island has a production capacity of 6 mmtpa and is one of the world’s most enduring LNG production sites, having exported more than 3,500 LNG cargoes globally since it commenced operations. The facility continues to play a pivotal role in the company’s efforts to scale up natural gas production and expand ADNOC’s reach in the international LNG market.
Natural gas, as a transitional energy source, emits fewer carbon emissions compared to other fossil fuels and is essential in various industrial processes. ADNOC Gas’ expanding export portfolio and continued investment in gas infrastructure underline its commitment to enabling a lower-carbon energy future. This deal with HPCL not only reinforces ADNOC Gas’ ability to ensure stable, long-term LNG supply but also plays a critical role in enhancing India’s energy security and sustainability goals.
As energy markets evolve toward cleaner fuels, partnerships like this one demonstrate how LNG will remain a cornerstone in bridging the gap between current Energy needs and future climate goals.
