GAIL to Operate Dabhol LNG Terminal Year-Round, Plans Expansion

GAIL (India) will operate its Dabhol liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal in Ratnagiri, Maharashtra, through the monsoon season for the first time, following the completion of a breakwater facility. The five million tonne per year terminal was earlier shut from May 25 for nearly four months due to high tides.

The breakwater allows year-round ship access, improving operational flexibility. GAIL has applied for all weather terminal status and expects authorisation soon, which would enable uninterrupted LNG cargo scheduling.

Chairman Sandeep Kumar Gupta confirmed the new development and highlighted that this marks a significant step in ensuring reliability for LNG operations at Dabhol.

GAIL is also planning a phased capacity expansion. The terminal’s capacity is targeted to rise to 6.3 million tonnes per year by mid 2027, with a further increase to 12.5 million tonnes annually by financial year 2031-32.

The Dabhol terminal upgrade is part of GAIL’s broader strategy to enhance India’s gas infrastructure and energy security by ensuring consistent LNG supply throughout the year.
