ABU DHABI (ALETIHAD)

ADNOC Gas has signed a 10-year agreement with Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL) to supply 0.5 million metric tonnes per annum (mmtpa) of liquefied natural gas (LNG), further strengthening its ties with key Indian energy partners.

The LNG will be sourced from ADNOC Gas’ Das Island liquefaction facility, which has a production capacity of 6 mmtpa. The deal marks ADNOC Gas’ third agreement with Indian companies in the past year, following earlier arrangements with Indian Oil Corporation and GAIL India Limited.

“This long-term agreement with HPCL, our third with Indian companies in the past year, reflects the robust energy partnership between the UAE and India,” said Fatema Al Nuaimi, Chief Executive Officer of ADNOC Gas.

“This milestone underscores ADNOC Gas’ ability to reliably meet rising global demand for LNG and support India’s ambition to increase natural gas to 15% of its primary energy mix by 2030.”

The Das Island facility, one of the world’s longest-operating LNG plants, has shipped over 3,500 LNG cargoes since it began operations. The agreement highlights ADNOC Gas’ expanding footprint in Asia’s high-demand LNG market and reinforces its role as a dependable global supplier.

As part of the broader ADNOC Group strategy, ADNOC Gas plays a central role in enhancing the UAE’s natural gas production capacity and increasing global LNG exports.

The company, which is listed on the ADX, currently supplies about 60% of the UAE’s sales gas needs and serves customers in more than 20 countries.
