India’s biggest gas utility is seeking a price cut and other changes to a 20-year liquefied natural gas supply contract from Gazprom PJSC, the latest in a series of concessions sought by buyers amid a global gas glut.
GAIL India Ltd. is pushing to overhaul the 2.5 million ton a year contract with the Russian gas giant that starts in 2018, B.C. Tripathi, chairman of the Indian state-run company, said in an interview in New Delhi. The company also plans to charter four to five LNG vessels on short-term contract as it prepares to receive U.S. LNG supplies.
