What this practice does — and why it matters.
LNG has become a truly global commodity, and gas remains the critical bridge fuel across most credible transition scenarios. Managing exposure, infrastructure and contracts across this chain is a strategic imperative.
Chargeman advises producers, importers, utilities and traders on structuring, portfolio management, and infrastructure investment across liquefaction, shipping, regasification and downstream distribution.
Our advisory is grounded in decades of transacting, operating and negotiating in real gas markets.

FAQs
Common questions.
How is a typical LNG and gas value chain engagement structured?+
We begin with a two-to-three week diagnostic, followed by a strategy sprint and, where required, an implementation phase that can run from three to eighteen months depending on scope.
Who leads the engagement from Chargeman's side?+
Every engagement is personally led by PANKAJ MANCHANDA, Founder & CEO, supported by a curated bench of specialists drawn from our global network of operators, engineers and commercial advisors.
Do you work with international or India-only clients?+
Both. We serve energy majors, utilities, sovereign entities and private capital across India, the Middle East, Africa, South-East Asia and Europe.
How do you price your work?+
We work on fixed-scope, retainer, and success-linked models. Fees are agreed transparently at the outset, tied to milestones rather than time-and-materials whenever possible.
Can you integrate with our existing consultants or EPC partners?+
Yes. We routinely act as owner's advisor alongside global engineering firms, financial advisors and legal counsel — bringing sector depth and executive perspective.
How do you handle confidentiality?+
All engagements are governed by robust NDAs, segregated data rooms and strict information-barrier protocols. Confidentiality is fundamental to how we operate.
