GAIL India says it will invest about $63 million (around 6 billion rupees) in a heating unit at its Ratnagiri LNG terminal. The project is intended to enable the terminal to gasify super-chilled LNG more effectively. At present, the terminal operates at roughly 50% capacity because the heating unit is not yet ready.
Outlets largely describe the same investment plan and timeline, including that the heating unit is expected to be completed by June 2027. Business Line and The Economic Times both link the upgrade to reaching full output of 5 million tonnes per annum, while The Hindu also highlights the current operating constraint tied to the unfinished heating unit. The Economic Times additionally provides further context on how the facility currently generates heat and notes that GAIL is building a small captive power plant to supply heat.
Overall, the coverage converges on the size of the investment, the purpose of the heating unit, and the near-term impact on throughput, with differences mainly in added operational context and supporting details.
