Background
Dahej LNG Terminal is an LNG terminal in Gujarat, India.[1]
The terminal was India’s first LNG terminal and regasification facility. It was originally commissioned in 2004 with two 148,000 cubic meter storage tanks and an initial 5 mtpa receiving capacity. The first expansion of the project included two additional storage tanks and increasing the receiving capacity to 10 mtpa, which was completed in 2009.[2]
Phase 3 of construction, commissioned in 2016, added two additional storage tanks and increased the receiving capacity from 10 mtpa to 15 mtpa.
