GAIL (India) Limited is planning to expand the capacity of its Dabhol liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal to 12 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) by 2030-31. Besides, it is also planning to build new terminals to meet the rising gas demand. Currently, the Dabhol LNG terminal in Maharashtra having capacity of five mtpa, operates at around 2.9 mtpa due to its downtime during the monsoon. However, GAIL is constructing breakwater infrastructure to enable the terminal’s operation even during the monsoon season.
