GAIL India is
investing 6 billion rupees ($63.1 million) to build a heating
unit at its Ratnagiri LNG terminal to help it gasify the
super-chilled fuel, the company’s business development director
told reporters on Wednesday.
* The facility, due to be completed by June 2027, will enable the company to run the LNG terminal at its full capacity of 5 million tons per annum, R. K. Singhal said at an industry event.
* The facility is operating at about 50% capacity as the
heating unit is not ready, Singhal said.
* The Ratnagiri facility was generating heat through the
waste of a power plant operated by another entity to gasify the
fuel. That plant is not functional now, he said.
* GAIL is also building a small size captive power plant to
generate heat for the liquefied natural gas facility, he added.
