The Paradip Port Trust (PPT) is likely to sign an MoU with the Gas Authority of India limited (GAIl) for a liquefied natural gas (lNG) terminal at Paradip. At the PPT Board meeting held on Saturday, PPT Chairman Sudhansu Sekhara Mishra highlighted various development projects being undertaken for the port. He also outlined the progress on the GAIl’s lNG terminal here.
A team of GAIl had recently visited Paradip and interacted with port officials while conducting a feasibility study on the project. The GAIl is already working on the Surat-Paradip pipeline project.
The 1,550-km long pipeline network with a capacity of 60 million standard cubic meters per day is estimated to cost `9,000 crore and will link Mora (Gujarat) on the west with Paradip on the east via Maharashtra and Chhattisgarh.
