India’s Chhara LNG Terminal to Start by Oct: Argus

LNG

India’s HPCL said it will start up its 5m mtpa Chhara LNG import terminal by October, Argus reported.

  • This follows commissioning delays after the firm faced difficulty unloading its first cargo last month.
  • The 160 mcm Maran Gas Mystras vessel failed to unload because of "swell in the rough sea beyond permittable limit," an official said, cited by Platts.
  • The facility is set to be closed from May 15 – Sep. 15 because of Monsoon season.
  • It will be ready to receive cargoes from October as the relevant pipeline is now complete.
  • The commissioning of the terminal has been delayed since Sep. 2022 due to pipeline issues. It will be India’s eighth LNG import facility, taking total regasification capacity to 52.7m mtpa.
