ABU DHABI: ADNOC Gas and its subsidiaries have entered into a landmark 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 cementing the UAE’s role in global energy markets.
The Heads of Agreement reinforces ADNOC Gas’ expanding presence in Asia’s growing LNG sector and strengthens its strategic energy ties with India. The deal marks the company’s third major LNG supply pact with Indian energy firms in the past year, following similar agreements with Indian Oil Corporation and GAIL India Limited.
Fatema Al Nuaimi, CEO of ADNOC Gas, stated, “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.” The agreement also supports India’s national goal to raise the share of natural gas in its energy mix to 15 percent by 2030.
LNG under this deal will be delivered from ADNOC Gas’ Das Island facility, one of the world’s longest-operating liquefaction plants with an annual capacity of 6 mmtpa. Since inception, the plant has shipped over 3,500 LNG cargoes globally, underscoring its reliability and operational scale.
As a transitional energy source, natural gas remains critical to achieving cleaner energy goals. The deal aligns with ADNOC’s broader strategy to scale up natural gas production and meet rising international demand with lower-emission fuels.
