India’s Petronet hopes diplomatic row with Qatar will not hurt gas talks

NEW DELHI: The CEO of India’s Petronet LNG said on Monday he hoped negotiations between India and Qatar to extend their long-term liquefied natural gas import deals beyond 2028 would not be harmed by a diplomatic row between the countries.

The government in New Delhi said last week it was “deeply shocked” by a decision by a Qatar court to impose the death penalty on eight Indians arrested in the country last year, on charges that have not been made public.
