How the exam will ask it
പ്രിലിംസ്
- LNG is natural gas liquefied by cooling to about -162°C at near-atmospheric pressure; it is mainly methane.
- India's LNG import terminals include Dahej, Hazira (both Gujarat), Dabhol, Kochi and Ennore.
- The India-UAE Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (CEPA) covers trade in goods, services and investment.
മെയിൻസ്
GS3 (Energy) and GS2 (Bilateral relations). Issue: India imports a large share of its gas and needs supply security as it targets a 15% gas share by 2030. Long-term contracts like ADNOC's lock in supply and price stability, deepening India-UAE ties alongside CEPA; the way forward is diversifying suppliers, expanding regasification and pipeline grids, and balancing gas with renewables.
