As per an ICRA note, the decline in domestic gas price is in line with the decline in global gas indices primarily Henry Hub over the reference period. Additionally, with prices of gas at various international hubs remaining low, the domestic gas price is expected to remain depressed. The low prices of gas at international hubs is contributed to by the commissioning of new gas liquefaction capacities with about 35 million tons coming online in CY2018 and another about 30 million tons expected to come online in CY2019. Moreover, shale gas production continues to be healthy in USA. Accordingly, Asian spot LNG prices which remained at $9-11/mmbtu during the winters of 2018-2019 have already declined the levels of $5-6/mmbtu. (ET).
