Sharing details of the company's expansion plans, A Balyan, CEO and Managing Director of Petronet LNG said the Hague expansion plan is on track, and the bidding process is likely to start around March-April.
The company has seen a robust 35% growth last quarter and going forward, Balyan said the volumes will be maintained at Q2 levels. "The main driver for the company until now has been high LNG volumes. And, the demand for gas is growing as per projections and expectations and hence, we can maintain these kinds of volumes right now," he reiterated. Lowering concerns on fast moving prices, Balyan further added that the LNG prices are not really reflecting the right over capacity in the world. "The LNG capacity is much more than the consumption or demand. Hence, I expect spot LNG prices to be reduced in the upcoming year," he added.
