Mozambique’s $20B LNG project restarts Nov. 12, 2025, after force majeure lifted due to improved security.

Construction of Mozambique’s $20-billion LNG project is set to resume after ONGC Videsh Ltd announced the end of a force majeure declaration imposed in 2021 due to security threats from Islamic State-affiliated militants in Cabo Delgado Province. The decision, made on November 12, 2025, follows improved security conditions, allowing work to restart on the 13.12 MMTPA project operated by TotalEnergies. Indian state firms, including ONGC and BPCL’s subsidiary, hold stakes in the consortium, which aims to enhance India’s energy security through a stable LNG supply.
