AI summary

Exchanges asked Petronet LNG to clarify a news report that its stock fell about 4% on QatarEnergy reportedly extending force majeure through mid-October 2026. Petronet LNG replied it is NOT aware of any such extension. However, the force majeure declared in March 2026 continues due to regional hostilities and Strait of Hormuz blockage. Company is providing additional regasification capacity to offtakers GAIL, IOCL and BPCL to mitigate impact.

Likely market impact

Denial may ease short-term selling pressure, but ongoing force majeure continues to affect LNG supplies.
