India’s state-run Oil India Ltd expects a US$20-billion, TotalEnergies-operated Mozambique liquefied natural gas project in which it owns a stake to restart development by the end of this year, its chairman Ranjit Rath said.

TotalEnergies halted construction of the project and imposed force majeure in 2021 following a deadly attack on the site by Islamic State-linked insurgents. TotalEnergies CEO Patrick Pouyanne said in June he expected development to resume this summer.
