ANVI Global’s dual-phase Mormugao Port project promises a massive 3 million-tonne capacity to reshape India’s west coast energy supply.
ANVI Global commits ₹5,000 crore to construct Goa’s first dedicated LPG import and storage terminal at Mormugao Port.
India’s western energy infrastructure is undergoing a significant transformation. Dubai-based energy trader ANVI Global recently announced a major project. As a result, the firm committed to developing a ₹5,000 crore terminal. The new LPG facility will be located at Mormugao Port in Goa.
The company signed a memorandum of understanding with the state. Officials finalised this agreement at the Vibrant Goa Summit 2026. As a result, Goa will receive its first dedicated LPG import infrastructure. The region previously relied entirely on costly road-based supplies.
Trucks currently transport up to 100,000 tonnes of LPG annually. Most of these shipments originate from neighbouring Mangalore. However, the new terminal will drastically alter this supply chain. Planners envision a dedicated berth and an underground pipeline corridor.
The project also includes building an onshore storage terminal. ANVI Global will implement this extensive development across two phases. The initial phase features a substantial refrigerated storage capacity. It will hold 65,000 tonnes of vital liquid gas.
This initial volume covers roughly eight months of local consumption. Moreover, developers will maintain a strict 30-day state reserve. The Goa government exclusively controls the release of this stockpile. As a result, local consumers will get priority during any declared emergency.
Eventually, the terminal will process three million tonnes annually. The total storage capacity will reach 258,000 cubic metres. Additionally, this gateway diversifies India’s import network, which is concentrated on the west coast. A new corridor could route cargoes directly from the US.
Oil marketing companies can utilise this site for strategic reserves. As a result, it will serve markets in Goa, Karnataka, and Maharashtra. Coastal tankers will handle about half of the planned throughput. As a result, the project significantly reduces road transport volumes and risks.
Future plans include supplying Sri Lanka and East African markets. Safety remains a paramount concern for the terminal operators. Accordingly, engineers designed full-containment refrigerated tanks and mounded pressurised vessels. These features effectively mitigate severe above-ground storage accident scenarios.
A joint working group will oversee the forthcoming development stage. Builders expect to complete phase one within 36 months after approvals. Subsequently, throughput demands will dictate the scale of phase two. Finally, ANVI reserved space for a future small-scale LNG facility.
