The contract is for two LNG storage tanks with a capacity of 170,000 m3 each for Phase IIIB of the Dahej expansion project at Dahej in the state of Gujarat.
L&T Hydrocarbon said it is committed to being an active EPC player in achieving the government of India’s target of increasing the share of natural gas in the primary energy mix from the current 6% to 15% by 2030.
