India’s state-run Petronet LNG plans to begin supplying liquefied natural gas (LNG) to neighbouring Sri Lanka for five years starting in 2025, its chief executive said on Thursday.
Petronet will ship 850 metric tons of gas daily to the island nation in 50 containers of 17 tons each, CEO Akshay Kumar Singh said during the India Energy Week event in Goa.
The project will supply two gas-fired power plants in Sri Lanka, which has suffered from crippling power blackouts and fuel shortages.
It will require land to be allocated in Colombo for a small regasification unit, Singh said.
