LNG imports fell 7.2% year-on-year in May as domestic demand stagnated and local production expanded. India imported 2,650 million metric standard cubic meters (MMSCM) of LNG in May, lower than 2,854 MMSCM a year earlier, according to the oil ministry data. The country consumed 5,708 MMSCM of natural gas in May, 0.3% higher than in the same month a year earlier. The data showed that a sizzling summer, which has boosted electricity demand across the country, had no significant impact on gas demand. An executive at a gas marketing company found it hard to explain the decline in LNG imports and stagnation in demand. He said the power sector has increased the use of gas for generation. And the only explanation could be that some other sectors cut down on gas use. Domestic production of natural gas expanded 6.7% in May from a year earlier to 3,105 MMSCM, helping offset the decline in imports. LNG prices have risen in recent months. JKM, the Asian spot LNG benchmark, averaged $11.9 per mmbtu in May, higher than $8.4 in February and $9.3 in May 2023. In June, it rose above $12 per mmbtu.

World Trade Organization (WTO) on the concessions the bloc can offer to New Delhi to mitigate the adverse impact of duties it levies on some steel imports. The two sides conducted consultations on June 7 on the EU's recent announcement of its decision to extend the existing safeguard measures on some steel product imports beyond the current termination date of June 30 for another two years. «India and the European Union were not able to reach an agreement,» India told the WTO on Monday. The measures hurt imports from many countries including India. «India requested the European Union to put forth its proposals for maintaining substantially equivalent level of concessions and other obligations and adequate trade compensation to mitigate the adverse effects of the proposed measure,» India said. India, China and Russia, along with five others have criticised the EU's decision to extend the levy on certain steel products, arguing that the measure, imposed after the US slapped additional duties on certain categories of steel imports from the bloc, in 2018, was inconsistent with the global trade body's rules.

Vodafone Idea (Vi) is confident its operational creditors, including network gear makers Nokia and Ericsson and tower vendor Indus will continue to support it despite delays in clearing their dues as the telco’s upcoming 4G-cum-5G blitz will generate fresh business for them. “Vendor negotiations shouldn’t impact, despite payment issues. With (our) peers’ post-5G capex peak, equipment vendors potentially see Vi as the primary source of growth, making their support likely in addition to the recent preference shares issued for part dues,” Vi’s CFO Murthy GVAS told global brokerage J P Morgan at a recent meeting. Global brokerage J P Morgan also quoted Vi’s Murthy saying that even for Indus, which has “a high proportion of single-tenant towers recently rolled out for LTE coverage, Vi offers a profitable second tenancy and loading revenues that should keep the terms of trade in the telco’s favour”.

Gujarat Congress on Monday alleged corruption in the process of allocation of land to industries in two GIDC estates in Bharuch, though the state government refuted the claims as baseless. In June 2023, the GIDC management had declared Saykha and Dahej estates as «saturated» zones, which required allocation of plots to be done only through public auction, but reversed the decision in February this year, Congress leader Shaktisinh Gohil told reporters. The Gujarat Industrial Development Corporation management declared the two estates as «unsaturated», which meant plots could be allotted at a fixed 'jantri' rate without the need for public auction, he pointed out. This was done to allot land at a throwaway price and thereby commit a scam of Rs 2,000 crore, Gohil alleged and sought an explanation from the BJP government in the state on the reversal of the June 2023 decision. He also sought an investigation into the issue by a sitting judge of the Supreme Court or the High Court as it had allegedly caused a massive loss to the state exchequer. «When a GIDC is declared as saturated, it requires sale of the remaining plots through auctions, which brings more revenue for the state,» the senior Congress leader said.
