The Hazira Project is the largest of Shell’s and of Total’s ventures in India and includes an LNG receiving and storage terminal within a newly built protected harbour. The world-scale LNG terminal together with infrastructure is laid out for a capacity of 5 million tonnes per annum (“mtpa”) of LNG. Though the initial throughput capacity is of the order of 2.5 mtpa, marginal incremental investments in equipment will enhance the capacity to 5 mtpa. In line with market expansion, the terminal is expected to achieve a throughput capacity of 10 mtpa. Representing an investment of Rs 3,000 crores, the Hazira LNG terminal project is one of the largest greenfield foreign direct investments in the energy sector in India.
