Bharat Petroleum Corporation’s (BPCL) joint venture -- Petronet LNG (PLL) has concluded and executed a Long-term LNG Sale & Purchase Agreement (LNG SPA) with Qatar Energy for the purchase of approximately 7.5 MMTPA Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) on a long-term basis. PLL is a Joint Venture Company with equity participation from four Oil & Gas Maharatna Public Sector undertakings - Gas Authority of India (GAIL), Oil and Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC), Indian Oil Corporation (IOCL), and BPCL, each holding an equity share of 12.50%, collectively totaling 50%.

LNG SPA is a renewal of the existing agreement signed on July 31, 1999, which was set to expire in April 2028. The new agreement entails deliveries commencing from May 2028 for a duration of 20 years with supplies on a delivered basis.
