The cargoes are to be delivered between June 2023 and May 2024. One of the sources said the tender closes on March 22.
The Dhamra terminal by Adani Total Private Ltd will be India's first one on the east coast. It is expected to receive its first LNG cargo in April and begin commercial operations 30 to 45 days after receiving the shipment.
Adani Total has a 20-year take-or-pay contract to provide
regasification services to Indian Oil Corp for 3 million tonnes
of LNG per annum at the Dhamra terminal. Government-run gas
distributor GAIL (India) Ltd has a similar 1.5 million
tonnes per annum deal with Adani Total.
Adani Total, in which French energy giant TotalEnergies SE has a 50% stake, said in February that it expects to
receive 2.2 million tonnes of LNG at the Dhamra terminal during
the year ending March 2024.
