Nigel Kuzemko, Gazprom Singapore's Global Director of LNG Development said: "We recognize IOC as major player in global energy markets with a strong presence in refineries, pipelines and marketing in India."
The deal follows a number of successful LNG cargo deliveries by Gazprom Singapore to its counterparties in India since 2007.
