Kochi LNG Terminal: A Mega Project in the Making

Kochi LNG terminal is the second mega project being developed by Petronet LNG Limited for importing gas. P.P. Basistha recently visited the site to take stock of the construction component involved in the project.

 
Located along the shore of Arabian Sea and surrounded by lush greenery, Puthuvypeen SEZ in Kochi is a truly visual treat for visitors. But more so, it is the buzzing activity of construction workers and large number of construction equipment that hook one's attention on the serene island, now converted into SEZ, as Petronet LNG Limited (PLL) is finalizing its second mega LNG receiving terminal at a cost of Rs. 3,700 crores, along with mega LPG storage terminal being set up by Indian Oil Corporation nearby.
