British energy firm Shell plans to expand in India by deepening its presence in the gas ecosystem and setting up more global capability centres (GCCs), Mansi Madan Tripathy, senior-vice president for APAC lubricants and country chair, Shell India, told Business Standard.

Shell India, which is part of a global $289 billion enterprise, plans to sign more liquefied natural gas (LNG) deals with local players. It will boost the capacity of its 5 million tonnes per annum LNG regasification terminal at Hazira, Surat, for an integrated gas business in the country, said Tripathy, without disclosing details of the deals. Shell supplied around 10 per cent of the 26.6 million tonnes of LNG imported by India in 2024.
