  "account": "India’s imports of liquefied natural gas (LNG) from Qatar have surged to an eight-month high, as Doha has increased its shipments through the Strait of Hormuz, bypassing the disruptions caused by the West Asia conflict. According to vessel tracking data, Qatar delivered 0.44 million tonnes (mt) of Qatari LNG to India by October 25, a near 370% increase from the volumes imported in September. This recovery in Qatari LNG imports has pushed Doha to the second spot among New Delhi’s source markets, after the United States, which imported 0.56 mt of American LNG in the same period, up 61.4% from September volumes.",
