The PNGRB has approved H-Energy Gateway Pvt Ltd’s proposal to connect its Jaigarh LNG terminal to Dabhol. This allows H-Energy, a Hiranandani Group firm, to connect its LNG re-gasification terminal at Jaigarh, (Ratnagiri district) in Maharashtra with Dahej-Uran-Dabhol-Panvel (DUDPL) and Dabhol-Bangalore (DBPL) pipelines.
Jaigarh presently has 5 MMTPA Dabhol LNG import terminal of GAIL. H-Energy LNG receipt facility at Jaigarh to Dabhol to tie-in with the two pipelines will give H-Energy to reach more customers along the two pipelines. The capacity of Jaigarh LNG terminal in phase I is approx. 4.0 MMTPA, H-Energy have plans to expand the capacity in Phase II. H-Energy plans to operate the Jaigarh terminal on a mix of merchant and tolling basis.

The pipeline will originate from Jaigarh LNG terminal where re-gasified LNG from LNG terminal will be injected into the pipeline. The length of the proposed Jaigarh-Mangalore pipeline is 635 kms.”
