Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) has signed a long-term liquefied natural gas sales and purchase agreement with India’s Gujarat Energy Limited, extending its LNG supply relationships in Asia through the international gas portfolio of its investment company, XRG.

Under the ten-year agreement, Gujarat Energy will purchase up to 4 million tonnes of LNG, with deliveries scheduled to begin in 2028. The agreement, announced on November 6, represents the first sale of LNG sourced from XRG’s international portfolio and ADNOC’s fifth LNG supply agreement in India.

The LNG will originate from XRG-owned supply assets outside the Gulf and will be marketed through ADNOC’s global LNG marketing and trading platform. The companies did not disclose the financial value of the contract, specific production facilities or the shipping arrangements associated with the deliveries.

## ADNOC expands international LNG marketing activities

The agreement follows the establishment of ADNOC’s global LNG marketing and trading platform in Abu Dhabi Global Market in July 2026. The platform has subsequently concluded LNG supply agreements with INPEX in Japan, Gulf Group in Thailand and Gujarat Energy in India.

ADNOC is targeting 47 million tonnes per annum of marketable LNG beyond 2030 through its expanding international portfolio. This figure represents the company’s longer-term marketing ambition rather than the volume covered by the Gujarat Energy contract.

Rashid Al Mazrouei, Chief Marketing & Origination Officer (LNG), said the agreement would connect ADNOC’s international LNG portfolio with customers in India and support the development of long-term supply relationships.

The transaction also broadens Gujarat Energy’s LNG procurement arrangements. The Indian company operates across natural gas trading, distribution and LNG import infrastructure, alongside other activities in the energy sector.

Avantika Singh Aulakh, Managing Director of Gujarat Energy, highlighted the company’s existing regasification infrastructure and city gas distribution network, which operates across 44 districts in six Indian states.

The agreement adds another long-term LNG supply commitment to the Asian market, with the first deliveries expected in 2028. Further details concerning delivery schedules, receiving terminals and LNG carrier arrangements have not been disclosed.
