Adani Total Private Ltd will receive its first liquefied natural gas (LNG) cargo at the Dhamra terminal on India’s east coast in April and expects to start commercial operations 30 to 45 days after receiving the shipment, the Adani Group told Reuters.
The start-up of the 5 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) LNG import terminal, delayed from September 2021, is crucial to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s plan to boost natural gas use in the country’s energy mix to 15% from about 6% currently.
