Description
Description | The India LNG buffer mandate is a proposed capacity reservation policy requiring LNG import terminal operators to build and maintain storage capacity equivalent to 10% above their standard operational requirements. This additional capacity would be reserved exclusively for government access during supply emergencies to enhance gas supply security. The policy aims to convert existing commercial LNG import terminal infrastructure into a strategic reserve buffer without direct government capital expenditure, with costs recovered through regulated toll increases. |
