Background
In September 2019 H-Energy reached an agreement with the Port of Kakinada to build the FSRU.[5]
In July 2021, the Andhra Pradesh government granted permission to the State’s maritime board to issue a comfort letter (assuring the financial soundness of the recipient) to East Coast Concessions for building the ₹1,600 crore import terminal.[6]
As of July 2023, the terminal was still expected to be commissioned by mid-2024.[7] The company website also shows expected commissioning by mid-2024.[8] However, the 2024 IGU report said that the project is under construction and expected to be completed in 2026.[9]
There have been no developmental updates since 2021 so the project is presumed cancelled.
