Serbian corridor dominates Hungary’s inbound gas flows
Hungary received approximately 7.7 billion cubic metres of gas through Serbia during the 2025/2026 gas year. Total imports increased by 2% to 12.1 billion cubic metres, keeping the Serbian corridor as the main supply route. The Serbian route accounted for roughly 64% of inbound volumes.
Other sources included Romania at approximately 2 billion cubic metres, Austria at 1.45 billion cubic metres, and Croatia at 0.9 billion cubic metres. Inflows from Ukraine were about 0.14 billion cubic metres. These figures describe the split of Hungary’s inbound volumes across multiple directions.
Storage, consumption, production and export movements in Hungary
Hungary increased storage injections by 37% to 3.14 billion cubic metres. This change occurred alongside a 3% decline in total commercial volumes handled by FGSZ, which fell to 16.7 billion cubic metres. Domestic consumption remained broadly unchanged at 8.8 billion cubic metres.
Hungarian production held near 1.51 billion cubic metres. Exports decreased by 20% to 4.75 billion cubic metres. Slovakia remained the largest destination with about 2.6 billion cubic metres, followed by Ukraine at roughly 1.7 billion cubic metres.
Border gas-quality alignment and supply buffer changes
FGSZ and Romania’s Transgaz aligned gas-quality rules at their border to simplify cross-border operations. Higher storage injections strengthened Hungary’s supply buffer during the period covered by the figures provided. Imports, however, remained heavily concentrated in the Serbian corridor.
The alternative connections referenced in the data are described as offering flexibility, while the southern route continues to carry most incoming gas.
