Adani Total Gas (ATGL), a JV between the two firms, announced the launch of the first LNG station in a social media post on Thursday.
The station is located in Tiruppur in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu.
“This marks a significant step forward in our commitment to drive sustainable energy solutions and support India’s transition to cleaner fuels,” the JV said.
“With this milestone, ATGL is further strengthening its leadership in the natural gas sector, offering efficient and eco-friendly alternatives for industries and transportation,” it said.
ATGL did not provide further information.
India’s cryogenic tech firm Inoxcva posted on social media earlier this year that ATGL marked a milestone with its first station in Tiruppur.
“Supplying CNG via LCVs and PNG for homes and industries, this eco-friendly station will soon offer LNG for heavy-duty trucks too,” the company said.
In February this year, ATGL picked Inoxcva as a “preferred partner” for the delivery of LNG and LCNG equipment and services.
The agreement aims to develop LNG Infrastructure in India, including small-scale LNG plants and LNG stations.
According to ATGL’s website, the company, which already has a network of CNG stations, aims to build 50 LNG stations across India.
Dhamra LNG
Adani and TotalEnergies operate the Dhamra LNG import terminal in Odisha, on India’s east coast.
The Dhamra LNG terminal started supplying natural gas to the grid in April last year as part of the commissioning phase, and received the first commercial LNG cargo in May.
Besides regasification, the 50/50 JV completed the first truck loading operation at the facility in August last year.
The JV said in May this year that the facility had completed 100 truck loading operations and received 20 shipments since then.
This facility is India’s seventh operational LNG terminal and the second of its kind on the east coast of the country.
It has a capacity of five million tonnes per annum (mtpa), with plans to double it in the future.
Dhamra LNG features two tanks of 170,000 cbm capacity each, while the facility’s jetty is capable of handling LNG carriers from 70,000 cbm to 265,000 cbm capacity.
As per capacity takers, the JV entered into 20-year LNG regasification agreements with state-owned Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) and GAIL.
