Larsen & Toubro (L&T) has bagged a major onshore hydrocarbons order worth up to ₹5,000 crore from Petronet LNG, reaffirming its strong execution credentials in large-scale energy and petrochemical projects. The contract has been awarded to L&T’s Hydrocarbon Onshore business vertical and will be executed on a Lump Sum Turnkey (LSTK) basis at the Dahej Petrochemical Complex in Gujarat.
Petronet LNG is a joint venture promoted by four leading public sector undertakings—Oil & Natural Gas Corporation, Indian Oil Corporation, GAIL (India) and Bharat Petroleum Corporation—highlighting the strategic importance of the project for India’s energy and petrochemical value chain.
The project scope includes engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning of a 170,000 cubic metre LNG/Ethane double-wall storage tank and a 140,000 cubic metre Propane double-wall storage tank. It also covers Ethane and Propane handling and despatch facilities to support the Propane Dehydrogenation and Polypropylene plant at Dahej.
This development forms part of India’s first integrated petrochemical complex that leverages cold energy utilisation from an LNG terminal. The project is expected to play a key role in narrowing the domestic polypropylene demand–supply gap and reducing import dependence, while supporting downstream manufacturing growth.
