GAIL (India) Limited Successfully Discharges First LNG Vessel at Dabhol Terminal During Monsoon Season

GAIL (India) Limited has successfully berthed and discharged its first LNG vessel at the Dabhol LNG Terminal following the completion of the landmark Breakwater Project. The vessel, GAIL Bhuwan, was received on June 2, 2025, by Shri Sandeep Kumar Gupta, Chairman & Managing Director, and Shri Sanjay Kumar, Director (Marketing), GAIL, marking the commencement of uninterrupted, round-the-year operations at the terminal. The commissioning of the breakwater has designated Dabhol LNG Terminal an all-weather port, ensuring safe and reliable LNG operations even during the Southwest monsoon. The terminal has a regasification capacity of 5.0 MMTPA and serves as a vital link in India’s gas supply network via the Dabhol- Bangalore and Dabhol-Panvel cross-country pipelines. The successful commissioning of the breakwater is expected to significantly enhance vessel accessibility and improve capacity utilization at the terminal, bolstering energy infrastructure and supply reliability. GAIL looks to expand the terminal’s capacity from 5.0 MMTPA to 6.3 MMTPA in the first phase over the next three years, handling up to 100 LNG cargoes annually and reinforcing India’s energy security.
