Shell strengthens India energy security amid Gulf disruptions. The global energy major secured 4 trillion British thermal units in fertiliser sector tenders, becoming India's largest imported gas supplier in March. With Qatar's LNG supplies disrupted by West Asia conflict, Shell leveraged its world-leading portfolio spanning Oman, Australia, and Nigeria to fill the gap. The company's Hazira terminal in Gujarat and extensive LNG shipping fleet enabled rapid capacity expansion. This supply stabilization proves critical as India depends on imports for half its natural gas needs, essential for urea production, power generation, and industrial applications. Shell's diversified sourcing demonstrates how global energy players can mitigate geopolitical supply chain risks through strategic infrastructure and portfolio flexibility.
