Petregaz India has inaugurated its new LPG import and storage facility at the Adani port in Krishnapatnam, Andhra Pradesh. The terminal has two 30,410-m3 refrigerated tanks, one each for propane and butane, two 700-m3 mounded tanks, a modern jetty capable of berthing all LPG tankers, two gantries with a total of 16 truck loading pays, and an on-site laboratory. The terminal is designed to handle up to 1.4m tonnes of LPG per year.
“Government-run oil companies can utilise our terminal’s capacity to improve LPG supplies in the hinterland, optimising logistics and strengthening India’s LPG landscape,” says Susheel Raina, CEO of Petregaz India. “This new facility will also benefit private marketers and bottlers by improving access to LPG in an area of the country historically underdeveloped in terms of LPG infrastructure.”
