Delivery of the First Cargo to the Dhamra LNG terminal in India

TotalEnergies announced today the delivery of a first LNG cargo to the Dhamra LNG terminal, located in the state of Odisha on the east coast of India. The terminal is owned and operated by Adani Total Private Limited (ATPL), a 50-50 joint venture between TotalEnergies and Adani. This delivery will enable the gradual commissioning of the terminal, which is expected to start commercial operations at the end of May 2023.

With a regasification capacity of 5 million metric tons of LNG per year, the Dhamra LNG terminal adds more than 10% to India’s regasification capacity.  India is the world's fifth largest LNG importer. India plans to increase the share of natural gas in its energy mix from 8% to 15% by 2030.

"We are pleased to have completed the first delivery of LNG to the new Dhamra LNG terminal, developed in partnership with Adani, with a cargo from Qatar. India wants to develop the use of natural gas to reduce the carbon intensity of its energy mix by replacing coal, and LNG can therefore meet growing domestic demand.” said Thomas Maurisse, Senior Vice President LNG at TotalEnergies.

TotalEnergies has a global LNG portfolio of about 50 Mt/y. The company plans to increase the share of natural gas in its sales mix to close to 50% by 2030.
