Hindustan Petroleum Corp. Ltd (HPCL), an Indian state-controlled company, has acquired an additional 50 percent stake in an LNG project firm building an import terminal at the port of Chhara in the West Coast state of Gujarat, giving it full ownership with the purpose of advancing towards completion.
Swan Energy Ltd., the Indian conglomerate with interests in energy, textiles and real estate, said it was making progress with the nation’s seventh LNG import terminal at Jafrabad port in the West Coast state of Gujarat and expects commissioning in early 2021.
Indian liquefied natural gas imports increased for a third month of the current fiscal year as the nation received more than 30 cargoes, with the main suppliers being the West African nations of Nigeria and Angola as well as Qatar.
Japanese company Toyo Engineering said it was awarded a contract to construct a liquefied natural gas import terminal near Kodinar, north of Mumbai, and set to be the seventh regasification facility on the West Coast.
Toyo Engineering Corp. of Japan has been awarded two engineering and construction contracts in Thailand and Russia as it redirects its core business to petrochemicals after being involved in the global build-out of LNG liquefaction plants and import terminals, including the Sakhalin export facility in the Russian Far East and the largest Indian import terminal at Dahej near Mumbai.
Myanmar is expected to begin importing liquefied natural gas by 2020 using floating storage and regasification units to supply three gas-fired power plants already under development.
