Russia's Trade Representation to be official partner of 9th LNG India Summit 2025

Russia's Trade Representation joins as official partner for LNG India Summit 2025, facilitating direct dialogue between Russian companies and Indian energy market leaders.

"For Russian companies, participation offers direct dialogue opportunities with Indian ministries and regulatory bodies - Russian Embassy"

New Delhi, Sep 16

: The Trade Representation of Russia in India is the official partner of the 9th LNG India Summit 2025 to be held here on September 24-25.

The international oil and gas event, dedicated to LNG (liquefied natural gas) sector cooperation, is being organised by the Indian branch of Messe Frankfurt.

"For Russian companies, participation offers direct dialogue opportunities with Indian ministries and regulatory bodies, major market players, and insight into potential supply prospects and joint projects in LNG imports, terminal construction, and the delivery of equipment, technologies, and services," the Russian Embassy said in a statement.

The 9th LNG India Summit 2025 is one of the key international platforms for knowledge exchange and business networking in the LNG sector. It covers strategic areas of the Indian LNG market development — government regulation, infrastructure, transportation solutions, and industrial applications.

The summit programme includes panel discussions featuring executives of top industry players, topics on infrastructure projects, cooperation in small-scale LNG, expansion of urban gas distribution networks, and the shift to low-carbon fuels.

Apart from oil, Russia is also a large producer of natural gas. The most prominent Russian gas company is Gazprom, a majority state-owned multinational energy corporation that is the largest company in Russia and the world's largest gas producer, with vast gas reserves and extensive involvement in exploration, production, transportation, and sales of natural gas and oil. Other significant Russian oil and gas companies include Novatek, a major player in LNG production, and Rosneft and Lukoil, which are also large state-owned and private energy firms, respectively.

Russia is substantially increasing its gas exports to China via the Power of Siberia pipeline and plans to build the Power of Siberia 2, which will add 50 billion cubic metres of annual capacity through Mongolia.

China is Russia's biggest purchaser of natural gas, with exports expected to reach 38 billion cubic metres (bcm) this year via the existing pipeline, and a separate Far Eastern route deal for an additional 10 bcm by 2026-2027.

While I appreciate the energy cooperation, we should also focus on developing our own renewable energy sources. LNG is cleaner than coal but still a fossil fuel. India should balance these partnerships with investments in solar and wind energy.

Good strategic move. Russia has huge gas reserves and we need affordable energy for our growing economy. Hope this leads to technology transfer and joint ventures in LNG infrastructure development in India.

Interesting development. Russia's pivot to Asian markets continues. With their increased exports to China and now deeper engagement with India, the global energy landscape is definitely shifting eastward.

Hope this partnership focuses on small-scale LNG solutions too. Many remote areas in India could benefit from decentralized LNG distribution for power and cooking needs. 🇮🇳

We need to ensure that any deals with Russian companies include fair pricing and technology sharing. Sometimes these partnerships look good on paper but don't deliver actual benefits to Indian consumers and industries.
