India is considering building a strategic reserve of liquefied natural gas to guard against future price spikes or supply shortages after last year’s energy crisis, according to a senior executive at the nation’s top importer.
The government has “proposed we should have more storage space for LNG so that when prices are lower we should store, and supply when there is crisis,” Vinod Kumar Mishra, finance director at Petronet LNG Ltd., said in an interview.
