Minute windows have no benchmark: there is no intraday index history to compare against.
GAIL's long-term LNG supplier Petronet LNG Limited (PLL) has issued a Force Majeure notice on 3 March 2026 citing maritime navigation restrictions around the Strait of Hormuz and a possible shutdown of the Ras Laffan liquefaction facility in Qatar. QatarEnergy, PLL's upstream supplier, has separately indicated a potential Force Majeure due to regional hostilities. As a result, PLL has cut GAIL's LNG allocation to zero from 4 March 2026, and GAIL is now evaluating whether it needs to impose supply cuts on its own downstream customers. GAIL has clarified that LNG supplies from other sources remain unaffected for now, and the overall financial impact cannot be quantified at this stage.
This is a significant negative development for GAIL — a complete supply cut from a key LNG source raises the risk of disruptions for its downstream gas customers and could pressure volumes and earnings if alternative supply arrangements are not quickly secured. The stock is likely to react negatively in the near term, though the long-term impact depends on how long the Strait of Hormuz disruption and Ras Laffan shutdown last.
