NEW DELHI: A sprawling liquefied natural gas terminal on India’s scenic southern coast stands testament to the country’s efforts to curb its coal addiction - and to its limited success.
Underutilised since it opened just over a decade ago, Petronet LNG Ltd.’s Kochi facility is all but silent. Last year, it operated at barely a quarter of its intended capacity, stranded by a lack of pipelines to ship fuel to towns and industrial centres across the region. It’s a story that repeats itself across the world’s most populous nation.
