Qatar Halts Gas Supplies to Indian Industries Amid Regional Tensions
New Delhi/Doha | March 5, 2026:
In a significant development, Qatar has declared force majeure, temporarily halting gas supplies to Indian industries following escalating tensions involving Iran.
The disruption affects liquefied natural gas (LNG) shipments crucial for India’s fertilizer, power, and petrochemical sectors. Officials in New Delhi are closely monitoring the situation and exploring alternatives, including drawing from reserves, sourcing LNG from other countries, and implementing short-term conservation measures.
Energy markets have reacted cautiously, with concerns that prolonged instability in the Gulf region could push global gas prices higher.
