Background

H-Energy is setting up an LNG re-gasification project at Jaigarh Port in the State of Maharashtra. The project is to be implemented in two phases.

Phase I

Phase I will consist of a jetty-based floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) of approximately 4 mtpa capacity. Jetty construction began at the end of 2016 and the FSRU is expected to be commissioned in 2018. Engie of France will charter the FSRU for 5 years. H-Energy also plans a Jaigarh to Dabhol tie-in pipeline which will carry re-gasified LNG to the Natural Gas Grid of GAIL at Dabhol.

In December 2020, H-Energy (through its wholly owned subsidiary Western Concessions Private Limited), entered into a binding contract with Höegh LNG Holdings Ltd. The contract is a 10-year agreement for the deployment of Höegh's existing floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU), named Höegh Giant, at H-Energy's existing LNG regasification terminal project in Jaigarh Port in Ratnagiri district of Maharashtra, India. The FSRU will be delivered to H-Energy’s Jaigarh project in March 2021.

The Höegh Giant was built in 2017. It has a storage capacity of 170,000 m3 and a maximum regasification capacity of 750 million standard cubic feet per day (MMscf/d - approximately 6.0 million tonnes per year). The FSRU will deliver regasified LNG to the 56 km Jaigarh-Dabhol Gas Pipeline, connecting to the National Gas grid. It will also deliver LNG onshore for truck loading facilities. The FSRU is also capable of providing bunkering services. The FSRU will act as a supplement to the Jaigarh LNG Terminal. Upon the delivery of the FSRU, H-Energy will commission its Jaigarh terminal project in March 2021. This LNG terminal will become India’s first FSRU based LNG regasification terminal.

In February 2020, the terminal was expected to begin operations in quarter two (Q2) of 2020. In March 2020 it was reported that commissioning may be delayed due to travel and commercial restrictions imposed because of the Covid-19 pandemic.

In April 2022, a few months after the vessel had arrived at Jaigarh Port, Hoegh LNG terminated its contract with H-Energy following “the charterer’s default of the contractual terms.”

According to the 2023 GIIGNL report, released in July 2023, construction of various elements including the jetty, facility buildings, and the Jaigarh-Dabhol pipeline was completed in 2022. The terminal is still delayed following the cancellation of the contract with Hoegh's FSRU.

In July 2023, industry experts reported that the terminal may see further delays due to tight supply globally for FSRU vessels and "tepid local LNG demand due to recently high and volatile prices". Additionally, it was reported that having terminated its 10-year FSRU charter with the Jaigarh LNG terminal, Hoegh LNG FSRU was expected to redeploy the vessel to a new European FSRU terminal later in 2023.

The terminal's start year has been delayed from 2022 to 2025.

In September 2024, AG&P was in talks with H-Energy to acquire the project. The deal was reportedly likely to close within a few weeks.

In December 2024, an article from the Natural Gas Society India said that AG&P Pratham had acquired the project.

in September 2025, it was reported that H-Energy was seeking a 6mn t/yr floating storage regasification unit (FSRU) to be delivered in October 2025-February 2026 in Jaigarh, Maharashtra.

Phase II

Phase II is expected to be implemented after the successful completion and stabilization of Phase I. It includes a conversion to a land-based regasification terminal with an ultimate terminal capacity of 8 mtpa.
