The imports in September amounted to $1.2 billion, unchanged from the year-ago period. In Apr-Sept, India imported LNG worth $6.8 billion, down from $7.6 billion a year ago, the report said.

Meanwhile, the country's consumption of natural gas in September declined 1.4% on year to 5.6 billion standard cubic metres and consumption of natural gas in Apr-Sept fell nearly 7% to 34.3 billion standard cubic metres, the data showed.
