        "summary": "An Iranian attack on energy facilities in the Middle East has disrupted 17% of Qatar's LNG export capacity, potentially impacting India's substantial imports from the country, which account for 41% of its LNG needs. Indian government officials express concern over the effects, though industry experts hope supplies to India remain unaffected as the specific facilities serving the country were spared. The incident, amid escalating US-Israel-Iran conflict, has led Qatar to declare force majeure on exports, threatening global supplies and causing annual losses of around $20 billion.",

India, the world\u2019s fourth-largest LNG importer,\nrelies on Qatar for about 41% of its gas imports.<\/p>\n<p>In 2024\/2025, India imported more than 27 million metric tonnes of\nLNG, with Qatar supplying 11.2 million tonnes, according to government\ndata.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c(Qatar\u2019s LNG capacity) is affected, this will also impact us,\u201d said\nSujata Sharma, joint secretary at the federal Ministry of Petroleum,\nduring a press conference.
