GAIL India has signed an agreement with Shell Energy India Private
Limited to explore opportunities for infrastructure development for
ethane sourcing.
In a bid towards diversification of the
feedstock for its petrochemical plant, GAIL is looking to import ethane
from ethane-surplus countries with matured export terminal
infrastructure through water borne transportation to India and for
moving it further through GAIL's pipeline systems to demand centres, a
company statement said.
The MoU envisages exploring prospects in
import and handling of different hydrocarbons which are important
chemical and petrochemical precursors, LNG for road transport,
regasification of imported LNG, renewables, etc.
