Background

Dhamra LNG Terminal is an LNG terminal in Odisha, India.[9]

In May 2015, Gas Authority of India Limited (Gail) and Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Adani Group to reserve regasification capacity in the Terminal. The deal came a few weeks after GAIL dropped plans for a floating LNG terminal in nearby Paradip.[10] As of August 2017, ownership shares are: Adani Group (50%), IndianOil (39%), and GAIL (11%).[11]

Construction of Dhamra LNG Terminal began in 2017 with a planned receiving capacity of 5 mtpa. The terminal’s natural gas will be supplied to local industries, motor vehicles, and various city gas distribution networks in eastern India.[12] In July 2017 the project's cost was put at USD$930 million.[13]

In September 2018 an agreement under which IndianOil and GAIL would assume a combined 50% ownership of the project expired, leaving Adani as the sole owner.[14] In July 2019 French firm Total acquired a 50% stake in the project, leaving Adani with 50%.[15]

In April 2020, the Covid-19 pandemic led the state of Odisha to order a temporary shutdown of many business and constructions sites including the Dhamra LNG Terminal.[16]

In February 2021, Total said that as of December 2020 the terminal construction was 70% complete, and that operations were planned to commence in July 2022.[17]

In April 2023, the project received its first cargo from Qatar and began commissioning. The terminal will import LNG for use by refineries, fertilizer plants, industries, and city gas distribution.[18]

There is potential to double the capacity to 10 mtpa but there have not been any announcements related to this provision.[19]
