The Adani Group has said that Adani Total Private Ltd will receive its first shipment of liquefied natural gas (LNG) at the Dhamra port on India’s east coast in April and anticipates beginning commercial operations 30 to 45 days after receiving the shipment. The launch of the 5 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) LNG import terminal, which was postponed from September 2021, is essential to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s strategy to increase the proportion of natural gas in the nation’s energy mix from the current 6% to 15%. The Dhamra project is just the second import terminal in India’s east, where the Adani Group’s first LNG import facility will increase gas demand there. The country’s western coast is home to the other five import terminals.
