Spot LNG prices on Thursday -- propelled by the coronavirus and a massive supply overhang -- has hit a historic low of $3/mmbtu (JKM price)
8And what is pertinent from the Indian view point is that spot prices may not have seen the bottom yet
8The website considers this as a historic moment for a gas buyer such as India, and indeed a point of inflection that the country should take advantage of in every manner possible
8Such low prices will come as bad news for ONGC, whose breakeven price for its KG-DWN-98/2 field (which will hit first gas with an output of 0.6-0.7 mmscmd next month) is at or more than $6/mmbtu.
8Both RIL (which has a lower breakeven point than ONGC) and ONGC will have their volumes hitting Indian shores at a time when spot LNG prices are expected to be very low, making marketing domestic gas at a price higher than the break even level very difficult.
8At such prices, this website is now expecting defaults on offtake of long term cargoes, which may force a recalcitrant Qatar to come back to the negotiating table with PLL. Details

8Both RIL (which has a lower breakeven point than ONGC) and ONGC will have their volumes hitting Indian shores at a time when spot LNG prices are expected to be very low, making marketing domestic gas at a price higher than the break even level very difficult.
8At such prices, this website is now expecting defaults on offtake of long term cargoes, which may force a recalcitrant Qatar to come back to the negotiating table with PLL. Details
LNG more than domestic gas is pushing India's drive towards transiting towards a less polluting environment
8As domestic gas production falters, LNG imports are now higher than domestic gas offtake. In industries such as fertilizers, refineries and petrochemicals, it is LNG that rules the roost. Going ahead, the CGD sector may see higher consumption of LNG than domestic gas
8There may be a correction, when a large tranche of KG Basin gas hits Indian shores but eventually, India will have to fall back on LNG as low gas prices may disallow any further domestic investment in gas production.

There are new examples of how state governments and pollution authorities are coaxing industrial units to switch from using polluting fuels to gas.
8So far, this trend was noticed in Gujarat and in the National Capital Region but it seems to be spreading to other states as well as gas supply infrastructure expands.
8The best part is that to encourage the switch, one particular state government has slashed VAT from 13.4% to 3%.
8As LNG prices plunge, the switch to gas will accelerate, and state taxes are expected to be moderated across the country to curb high levels of pollution in industrial citiies, making it easier to transit to a GST regime.
8Eventually, the transition to GST should be an organic bottom up movement rather than a top-down imposition
