GAIL plans to double capacity at its Dabhol LNG terminal

GAIL plans to increase Dabhol LNG terminal capacity to 12 mtpa by 2030 to meet rising gas demand. The government aims for 15% natural gas share by 2030, leading to potential growth in LNG terminals. The Dabhol terminal has a nameplate capacity of 5 mtpa but operates at about 2.9 mtpa as it remains idle during the monsoon season. The company is building a breakwater infrastructure, which will help the terminal operate also during monsoon.
