Has the golden run for gas, and in turn for LNG, begun in India?
8LNG imports were up 22% in December in relation to the same month in the previous year. This increases is despite a serious slowdown in the Indian economy.
8Part of the upsurge in LNG was fostered by an 7.9% decline in domestic gas production but lower LNG prices have had a hand in the upswing in imports
8The high price elasticity of LNG is proven yet again, it seems. Also gas demand has been buoyant enough, growing at a faster pace than general POL consumption.
8Lower prices predicted for 2020 will give a further impetus
Find out how much LNG prices are down in December. Details

The news can't be worse: POL consumption is down in December. In some sectors the slide is precipitous, pointing towards a severely slowing economy.
8Consumption of key industrial products are all down: Naphtha (-5.6%), Diesel (HSD) (-0.7%), Light Diesel Oil (LDO) (-11.4%), Furnace oil & Low Sulphur Heavy Stock (FO/LSHS) (-12.2%) and Bitumen (-8.4%).
8From April to December, we have had five months of negative growth. Consumption during the entire period is up only 1.8%
8Bitumen consumption is down, indicating that the momentum in road construction has petered out
8Diesel consumption recorded a drop over the December last year in the face of a 12.3% decline in commercial vehicle sales in December
8Consumption of FO/LSHS is down 12.2% on the back of weaker demand from power, fertilizer, petrochemical and steel. .
8The ban on fuel oil use in Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan and Haryana should have led to an increase in the consumption of LDO, but offtake is down 11.4% in December
