November 25, 2020 | Driftwood Goes Adrift: PLL Asserts Its Independence | President Donald Trump’s fall has come as a relief to many in the world. It can have a positive impact on India’s petroleum sector. Among the Indian companies, the biggest beneficiary could be Petronet LNG Ltd (PLL) which in September 2019 signed a MoU with Tellurian of the US. Under the terms of the MoU, Petronet proposed to invest for an 18 per cent stake in Tellurian's proposed 27.6 MTPA Driftwood LNG facility. Immediately after Trump’s fall, PLL announced that it has no plans to invest in liquefied natural gas (LNG) developers as the market is awash with cheaper fuel. It seems PLL was under some sort of pressure from US lobby to invest but staved it off by signing a MoU which is simply a diplomatic exercise. From an attitude of subservience to LNG suppliers, the PLL management has now grown to a stage where it has started to assert itself. That in itself is a welcome development.
