LNG boom to benefit ports

To reduce its dependence on traditional and costly fossil fuels, India is looking to set up liquefied natural gas (LNG) receiving terminals in every port. India has four LNG re-gasification terminals at Dahej and Hazira in Gujarat, Dabhol in Maharashtra and Kochi in Kerala. On the western coast, facilities are being planned at Mundra, Pipavav, Chhara and Nana Layja. New facilities have also been proposed at Kakinada, Gangavaram, Krishnapatnam, Ennore, Dhamra, Paradip and Karaikal on the eastern coast.
