US Overtakes Qatar as India's Top LNG Supplier Amid West Asia Conflict
In March‑May 2026 the United States supplied 1.5 million tonnes of LNG to India, eclipsing Qatar’s 0.1 million tonnes and capturing about 26 % of India’s imports. The shift follows the West Asia conflict that crippled Qatar’s Ras Laffan output, forcing Indian buyers to turn to U.S., Omani and African cargoes at higher spot prices.
