Background
In November 2022, Petronet LNG announced that it planned to build an LNG import terminal at Gopalpur port in Odisha, India.[4] The project will be built in two phases: first, a 4-mtpa FSRU will deployed at the site. For the second phase, there is a provision for the facility to be converted to an onshore terminal with a total capacity of 5 mtpa.[1][2] The full project is expected to cost 23.06 billion rupees (US$285.5 million).[1]
In December 2023, it was reported that Petronet LNG was moving forward with its plans for the FSRU. Petronet and Gopalpur Ports signed a sub-concession agreement, sub-lease deed, and port service agreement for the first phase of the terminal.[5]
In July 2025, Petronet took a positive final investment decision (FID) in the project, which will build a 5-mtpa land-based LNG terminal. These plans replaced the earlier proposal to develop the project in two phases, the first of which using an FSRU. The total value of the project was estimated to be 63.54 billion rupees (USD$734 million). The terminal was expected to be completed in three years, in 2028.[6]
