Larsen & Toubro wins order for hydrocarbon onshore business
L&T’s Hydrocarbon Onshore business vertical (L&T Onshore) has won a large order from Petronet LNG, a joint venture promoted by four leading PSUs, viz., Oil & Natural Gas Corporation (ONGC), Indian Oil Corp. (IOCL), GAIL (India) and Bharat Petroleum Corp. (BPCL).
The project, to be delivered entirely on a lump sum turnkey basis, comprises engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning (EPCC) of a liquefied natural gas (LNG)/ethane double-wall storage tank with a capacity of 170,000 m3 and a propane double-wall storage tank with a capacity of 140,000 m3 at the Dahej Petrochemical Complex in Gujarat. The scope also includes ethane and propane handling and dispatch facilities to support the propane dehydrogenation and polypropylene plant.
This project is part of India’s first petrochemical complex integrating cold energy utilization from an LNG terminal and is expected to contribute towards bridging the domestic polypropylene demand–supply gap. The project aligns with the Government of India’s Aatmanirbhar Bharat initiative by strengthening indigenous petrochemical manufacturing capacity.
The order reflects the industry’s enduring confidence in L&T’s proven ability to deliver projects within stringent timelines, while maintaining an unwavering commitment to excellence, safety and quality.
Commenting on this, Subramanian Sarma, Deputy Managing Director & President - L&T, said: “This order is a significant milestone for us as we contribute to India’s first integrated petrochemical complex leveraging LNG cold energy. It aligns with the nation’s Aatmanirbhar Bharat vision and strengthens indigenous petrochemical capacity.”
E S Sathyanarayanan, Senior Vice President & Head of L&T Onshore and Member of L&T’s Executive Committee, said: “Securing this prestigious order from Petronet LNG is a strong endorsement of our proven expertise in executing complex EPCC projects. We are fully committed to completing this project safely, efficiently and within the agreed timelines, while upholding the highest levels of quality.”
L&T Onshore is one of India’s largest EPC businesses, delivering comprehensive lump sum turnkey solutions across upstream, midstream and downstream hydrocarbon sectors. With a strong execution track record across geographies, it has delivered refinery expansions, petrochemical complexes, gas processing plants, fertilizer plants, LNG terminals and cross-country pipelines.
