APSEZ in regasification pact with GAIL
Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone Ltd (APSEZ) has signed a long-term agreement with GAIL (India) Ltd to provide LNG regasification services on a use-or-pay basis at its upcoming LNG import terminal at Dhamra port in Odisha. GAIL India has booked 1.5 mtpa regasification capacity for 20 years. The state-run firm plans to supply the gas to its customers in the eastern region and along the under-development Jagdishpur-Haldia gas grid. The terminal is expected to be commissioned in the second half of 2021.
The Dhamra LNG import terminal is designed for an initial capacity of 5 MTPA, expandable up to 10 MTPA. Initially, it will have two full containment type tanks of 180,000 cubic metre capacity each. It will be first of its kind in India and second LNG terminal on the east coast after IOC’s Ennore terminal in Tamil Nadu. Ends/
