French group TotalEnergies has announced the signing of an LNG supply contract with Indian company Gujarat State Petroleum Corporation Limited (GSPC). This agreement, spanning ten years, provides for the delivery of 400,000 tons of LNG per year from 2026.
A strategic contract for TotalEnergies
TotalEnergies, which focuses on long- and medium-term commitments to secure its revenues, incorporates this new agreement into its strategy to limit exposure to hydrocarbon price fluctuations. According to the company, the LNG destined for GSPC will come from its global portfolio and will be used to supply industries, households, businesses, and service stations distributing compressed natural gas (CNG) in India.
Gregory Joffroy, Director of LNG at TotalEnergies, emphasized that this agreement highlights the group’s key role in LNG distribution on a global scale. By diversifying its supply contracts, the company strengthens its leadership in a rapidly evolving market, particularly in Asia, where energy demand continues to rise.
Addressing India’s growing market needs
For GSPC, this contract represents an opportunity to stabilize its long-term LNG supply. Milind Torawane, Managing Director of GSPC, explained that this agreement helps address supply and demand tensions for natural gas in the state of Gujarat and more broadly in India. Facing increasing energy consumption, the company seeks to secure competitive supply sources to sustain its growth.
LNG remains a key resource for India, whose energy policy aims to increase the share of gas in its energy mix. This contract is part of a dynamic diversification of import sources to meet the country’s energy challenges.
