Resource Update

Indus Gas Limited (AIM:INDI.L), an oil & gas exploration and development company with assets in India, is pleased to announce a significant increase in its reserves and resources following an updated Competent Persons Report (CPR). The CPR was provided by Senergy Oil & Gas.

CPR Highlights:

· Gross 'Proven plus Probable' remaining reserves increased to 872 Bcf (Net of 18 bcf already produced as of 30 September 2014)

o 52% increase from 573 bcf assigned in previous CPR by Senergy in 2012

o Proven reserves increased to 423 Bcf as against 118 bcf assigned in previous CPR by Senergy in 2012

o New reserves largely attributed to new sands (lower P10) within SGL field and SSM fields

o Discounted cash flows at 10% IRR (NPV10) in respect of "Proven plus Probable" reserves of 872 Bcf estimated to be US$ 2,309mn (before capital expenses) and US$ 1,785mn (Net of capital expenses).

· 2C gross contingent resources increased 19% from 2,699 Bcf to 3,219 Bcf - Current CPR utilizes only some of the recent data used in the approval of the Declaration of Commerciality in respect of contingent resources.

· Best estimate prospective resources of over 2 TCF attributable to the wells outside the SGL development area

· Pipeline connection to existing cross country pipeline and western gas grids emerging as a viable option for long term gas monetization.
