HPCL Delays Chhara LNG Commissioning Until After Monsoon Season

LNG

Hindustan Petroleum Corp Ltd.’s Chhara LNG import terminal has been delayed to September or October due to technical issues, according to Bloomberg citing company executives.

  • The facility on India’s west coast was due to start commissioning this month but is now likely to start after the monsoon season in September or October.
  • Full import capacity was not expected in 2024 as the terminal requires a breakwater facility to protect from choppy seas due to the monsoon season which is not yet completed.
  • The terminal needs at least 10-12 continuous days of clear weather for berthing of an LNG ship for commissioning.
  • HPCL is trying to sell the commissioning cargo it purchased for April.
