L&T’s Hydrocarbon Onshore business vertical (L&T Onshore) has secured a significant order from Petronet LNG, a joint venture promoted by leading PSUs – ONGC, IOCL, GAIL (India), and BPCL. The project will be executed on a Lump Sum Turnkey (LSTK) basis, encompassing engineering, procurement, construction, and commissioning of critical storage infrastructure at the Dahej Petrochemical Complex, Gujarat.
The scope includes the construction of a 170,000 cubic metre LNG/Ethane double-wall storage tank and a 140,000 cubic metre Propane double-wall storage tank, along with Ethane and Propane handling and despatch facilities. These facilities will support the Propane Dehydrogenation and Polypropylene plant, forming a vital part of India’s first petrochemical complex integrating cold energy utilisation from an LNG terminal.
The project is expected to play a key role in bridging the domestic polypropylene demand–supply gap and aligns with the Government of India’s Aatmanirbhar Bharat initiative, strengthening indigenous petrochemical manufacturing capacity. The order underscores the industry’s confidence in L&T’s proven execution capabilities, particularly in delivering complex projects within strict timelines while maintaining high standards of safety, quality, and excellence.
