30 Jun 2011 Evaluate

Petronet LNG in a bid to meet demand in the central and eastern parts of the country is eyeing to set up a liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal on the east coast. Indigenous gas production has increased with the commissioning of facilities of several operators of the country, but the current production is decreasing and lower than what was earlier projected.

India's current gas demand is around 179 million cubic meters a day (mcmd), while local supplies is less than 140 mcmd. India's natural gas output declined 9.6% to about 4.14 billion cubic metres in May from a year ago as output from the Reliance-operated D6 block in the east coast declined after touching about 60 million cubic metres per day.

The company has posted a net profit of Rs 206.28 crore for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 as compared to Rs 97.29 crore for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, up 112.03%. Its total income has increased by 66.10% from Rs 2418.63 crore for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 to Rs 4017.33 crore for the quarter ended March 31, 2011.

Petronet LNG is one of the leading players in oil and natural gas industry space. It has India’s first and largest LNG supply terminal located at Dahej.
