India-Qatar Tension : How natural gas is central to ties between India and Qatar | Drishti IAS

Description-The death sentence given to eight former personnel of the Indian Navy by a court in Qatar presents the biggest challenge yet to New Delhi’s historically friendly ties with Doha. In the relationship between nations, trade relations play a significant role. In the case of India and Qatar, the balance of trade is tilted heavily in the latter’s favour - which means imports from Qatar far outweigh India’s exports.What also gives Qatar huge leverage is the nature of the trade - dominated as it is by a commodity of critical importance to India, now and for the foreseeable future. It is India’s largest source of liquefied natural gas (LNG) - gas that has been super cooled to liquid form so that it can be transported by sea - accounting for more than half of overall import volumes of the fuel. Indeed, LNG is at the heart of the trade relationship - it makes up almost 50% of overall Indian imports (by value) from Qatar.India’s import dependency in natural gas is around 50%, and given the government’s concerted push to increase natural gas consumption, imports are only likely to rise in the coming years, even if domestic production of natural gas increases.Government-owned Petronet LNG, India’s largest LNG importer, has a long-term contract with Qatar for the import of 8.5 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) of LNG. In addition, Qatari gas has a sizable share in India’s LNG purchases from the spot market.Natural gas is seen as a significantly cleaner alternative to conventional petroleum fuels like diesel and petrol, and is usually cheaper than crude oil. For India, which has an import dependency of over 85% in crude, gas is both more affordable and a better transition fuel in the energy transition pathway.India’s total imports from Qatar in FY2022-23 were valued at $16.81 billion, of which LNG imports alone were worth $8.32 billion, or 49.5%, an analysis of official trade data shows.India’s other major imports from Qatar are also fossil fuel-linked commodities and products, such as liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), plastics, and other petrochemicals.On the other hand, India’s exports to Qatar were valued at just $1.97 billion in FY2022-23. The major exports include cereals, copper articles, iron and steel articles, vegetables, fruits, spices, and processed food products..

1. प्राकृतिक गैस को 161 डिग्री C पर क्रायोजेनिक तकनीक से द्रवित किया जाता है ( न की 162 डिग्री C पर) इसलिए गलत है। 2. वर्तमान में इसका सबसे बड़ा निर्यातक संयुक्त राज्य अमेरिका है।🙏🙏🙏
