New Delhi: India’s natural gas availability for sale rose by 9.7 per cent to 5,416 million standard cubic metres (MMSCM) in April 2025 compared to 4,936 MMSCM in April 2024, according to provisional data released by the Petroleum Planning and Analysis Cell (PPAC) under the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas.

The increase in overall availability was driven by a 19.1 per cent rise in liquefied natural gas (LNG) imports, which stood at 2,977 MMSCM in April 2025 against 2,499 MMSCM in the corresponding month of the previous year.

Gross domestic natural gas production fell to 2,908 MMSCM in April 2025, marking a 1.7 per cent decline from 2,958 MMSCM in April 2024. Net production available for sale also saw a marginal decline, registering 2,439 MMSCM in April 2025 compared to 2,437 MMSCM in the year-ago period.

Natural gas consumption during the month stood at 5,847 MMSCM, with the fertiliser sector accounting for the highest share at 26 per cent, followed by city gas distribution (CGD) at 23 per cent, power generation at 15 per cent, refineries at 7 per cent, and petrochemicals at 5 per cent.

In absolute terms, gas consumption by the fertiliser sector declined to 1,443 MMSCM from 1,652 MMSCM in April 2024. CGD consumption rose to 1,281 MMSCM from 1,213 MMSCM, while the power sector consumed 824 MMSCM, down from 945 MMSCM in the previous year. Refineries consumed 391 MMSCM, a decrease from 453 MMSCM, whereas the petrochemical sector saw a substantial rise to 297 MMSCM from 155 MMSCM in April 2024.

Among states, Gujarat remained the top gas-consuming state with 43.82 million standard cubic metres per day (MMSCMD), followed by Uttar Pradesh at 27.78 MMSCMD, Maharashtra at 25.11 MMSCMD, and Delhi at 7.93 MMSCMD. Among offshore fields, western offshore contributed 6.66 MMSCMD.

The total cumulative LNG imports during April 2025 increased to 2,977 MMSCM from 2,499 MMSCM in April 2024, while cumulative net domestic availability stood at 2,439 MMSCM.

PPAC data also shows that total gas consumption surpassed the availability by 431 MMSCM in April 2025, reflecting a continued reliance on LNG imports to meet demand.
