GAIL to construct RLNG Terminal in KG-Basin
Hyderabad, Dec 23 (INN): Gas Authority of India Limited (GAIL) chairman BC Tripathi said that the GAIL would take active steps to establish RLNG Terminal in the Krishna Godavari Basin.
Tripathi called on the Chief Minister N Kiran Kumar Reddy at the State Secretariat here on Friday. Initially an FSRU (Floating storage, Regas and Unloading) terminal is planned and after its success, a land based terminal will be set up in the state through the Andhra Pradesh Gas Distribution Corporation.
It may be recalled that the Chief Minister has requested the Union Minister for petroleum and Natural Gas Jaipal Reddy to intervene to instruct the GAIL and Gail gas to initiate necessary measures to set up an RLNG Terminal in the state through Andhra Pradesh Gas Distribution Corporation (APGDC), wherein GAIL Gas has 50% equity.
The same issue was also highlighted in the Chief Minister's speech in the National Development Council meeting.
The RLNG terminal in the state is expected to ensure uninterrupted supply of natural gas to the industries to meet the shortfall quantity. The state has got 974 kilometres coastline and as such a technically and suitable location can be identified to establish RLNG terminal.
The State has also got huge natural gas pipeline infrastructure. Ceramic and glass industries which have started their projects in the state are ready to consume RLNG.
The PCPIR which is to be established along the Vizag-Kakinada corridor is expected to be one of the big consumers of the RLNG. The State Government has been extending support to establish the LNG terminal by providing technical support, land and other clearances.
