Petronet LNG Eyes Record Volume as Capacity Increases
Petronet LNG, a leading gas importer, is preparing for a successful year ahead.
They are increasing their ability to handle more gas and anticipate more gas being available globally, which should also lower prices.
Last year, they processed a record amount of gas, and they plan to increase that amount in the future.
Dahej terminal is getting a boost in capacity.
Kochi terminal's connectivity upgrades are underway to improve the usage.
They are also expanding into petrochemical projects, which should finish in a few years.
Petronet LNG anticipates stronger performance in FY26, driven by capacity expansion and global LNG availability.
The company achieved record processing volumes of 934 TBTUs in the previous fiscal year.
Dahej terminal's capacity will increase to 22.5 million tonnes in the next few months.
LNG imports and consumption in India increased by 10% during the last fiscal year.
