Economic/Social Impact of the Project Bengal Concessions Private Limited [BCPL], a subsidiary of HE Terminals Private Limited [HETPL] is planning to set up an LNG Storage and Regasification terminal at Kukrahati, East Medinipur District, West Bengal. BCPL intends to develop a small scale LNG Regasification project at the proposed site at Kukrahati with an initial regasification capacity of 1.5 to 3.0 MMTPA, which will be expanded up to 5 MMTPA in future. During this operational period, LNG Carriers of approx. 30,000 m3 each are planned to be berthed at two riverine jetties which are planned to be constructed at a distance of approx 150m from the shore. LNG carriers of approx 30,000 m3 will bring the LNG about 2 to 3 times a week for regasification initially and upto once daily at peak capacity. Multiple pipelines are envisaged to emanate from the site to deliver Re-gasified LNG [RLNG] to the end users. Also, a truck loading facility shall be constructed to deliver LNG to nearby customers.
