Media reports suggest that Petronet LNG is expanding its Dahej LNG terminal in two phases. In the first phase, it is building second LNG jetty which will get completed by the end of December 2013 or early 2014.
This would improve its facility by increasing unloading capacity and also give more flexibility. The company expects to complete the expansion project, which envisages increasing the capacity of Dahej terminal from 10 to 15 million tonne, by end of 2015 or early 2016.
Meanwhile, the company expects its Kochi terminal to be commercially commissioned either by end of March or early April. The firm’s terminal is getting fully ready for commissioning and the pipeline which is connecting near by Kochi area is also complete, reports indicate.
The other two pipelines which are connecting to Bangalore and Mangalore regions are currently under construction and there have been some delay on these two pipelines.
As per the latest projections, these pipelines could be ready either by the end of 2013 or in early 2014, reports suggest.
