Background

In September 2019 H-Energy reached an agreement with the Port of Kakinada to build the FSRU.

In July 2021, the Andhra Pradesh government granted permission to the State’s maritime board to issue a comfort letter (assuring the financial soundness of the recipient) to East Coast Concessions for building the ₹1,600 crore import terminal.

As of July 2023, the terminal was still expected to be commissioned by mid-2024.
