    As the share of natural gas in India's energy mix will increase from the current 6.
    5% to 15% in the next five years, in order to meet the growing domestic demand for natural gas, India's state-owned gas utility giant Gail intends to nearly double its liquefied natural gas (LNG) imports from 50 cargoes to 100 cargoes in the previous fiscal year
    , in the current fiscal year ending in March 2019.

    Under long-term contracts, Gale will import 60 LNG cargoes from the United States, eight from Gazprom and buy the remaining 32 LNG cargoes
    under short-term agreements, officials said Thursday.

    Terry Patti, chairman of Gale, said after the release of the company's annual results that Gale's focus is on capturing a larger share of LNG from the short-term market and benefiting from greater destination, volume and delivery flexibility in order to hedge more effectively against price volatility
    .

    Tripati added that as the global LNG market shifts from long-term trading to short-term and spot trading, new long-term contracts will not be a
    priority.
    Gayle will receive the first LNG cargoes
    under the renegotiated agreement with Gazprom on June 4.
