Larsen & Toubro (L&T) on Friday said its hydrocarbon onshore business has secured a ‘large’ engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning (EPCC) order from Petronet LNG for storage and handling infrastructure at the Dahej Petrochemical Complex in Gujarat.
L&T classifies a ‘large’ order as one with a contract value in the range of ₹2,500 crore to ₹5,000 crore.
The project will be executed on a lump-sum turnkey basis and involves the construction of a 170,000 cubic metre liquefied natural gas (LNG)/ethane double-wall storage tank and a 140,000 cubic metre propane double-wall storage tank. The scope also includes ethane and propane handling and despatch facilities to support the downstream propane dehydrogenation and polypropylene plant at the complex.
Petronet LNG is a joint venture promoted by Oil & Natural Gas Corporation, Indian Oil Corporation, GAIL (India) and Bharat Petroleum Corporation.
L&T said the project, which forms part of India’s first petrochemical complex, integrates cold energy utilisation from an LNG terminal and is expected to help bridge the domestic demand–supply gap for polypropylene. The project aligns with the government’s Aatmanirbhar Bharat initiative by strengthening indigenous petrochemical manufacturing capacity.
Subramanian Sarma, Deputy Managing Director and President of L&T, said the project marked a key milestone in contributing to India’s first integrated petrochemical complex leveraging LNG cold energy.
E S Sathyanarayanan, Senior Vice President and Head of L&T Onshore, said the order underscored the company’s expertise in executing complex EPCC projects within stringent timelines while maintaining safety and quality standards.
