Petronet LNG gained 6.02% on Monday to close at Rs 233.35, after a 7% on Friday.
The spurt was due to a speculation that the company could benefit from a Rs 10,000 crore waiver by Qatar's RasGas for breaching a contract to buy LNG.
The company, responding to the news, informed the BSE on Monday, saying "Petronet and RasGas are in discussion of various issues under their agreement" and that "no binding agreement has been executed to this effect."
