Petronet LNG signs ₹1,200 crore regasification pact with PCL for 5.5 years
Petronet LNG Ltd
(PLL) has signed a long-term
regasification agreement
with Performance Chemiserve Ltd (
PCL
), a
Deepak Fertilisers
and Petrochemicals Corporation Ltd (
DFPCL
) group company, for approximately ₹1,200 crore over a 5.5-year period.
The agreement, signed on July 10, 2025, provides for PLL to receive, store, and regasify around 25.6 trillion British thermal units (TBTUs) of imported
liquefied natural gas
(LNG) per year at its
Dahej terminal
in Gujarat. The regasification is scheduled to commence between May and July 2026 after an initial ramp-up period and will continue until December 31, 2031.
The deal is expected to generate additional revenue of up to 20 per cent beyond the base amount over the agreement period.
According to PLL, the gas will be utilised by DFPCL group's manufacturing units at Taloja. PCL is a wholly owned subsidiary of Deepak Mining Solutions Ltd (DMSL), which in turn is a wholly owned subsidiary of DFPCL. The DFPCL group manufactures fertilizers and industrial chemicals using natural gas as feedstock.
"This agreement marks a major milestone in our long-term vision to create a strong, reliable, and efficient supply chain—from natural gas to value-added downstream products," said Sailesh C. Mehta, Chairman and Managing Director, DFPCL.
Petronet LNG
is currently operating two LNG terminals at Dahej and Kochi with a combined regasification capacity of 22.5 million tonnes per annum. It handled around 18 MMTPA LNG during FY2024-25, accounting for about 66 per cent of India's LNG imports and 43 per cent of the country's regasification capacity.
Welcoming DFPCL to its list of partners, PLL MD & CEO A. K. Singh said, 'Such collaborations not only augment utilisation of our expanded regasification capacity but also contribute meaningfully to the nation's energy security and industrial growth.'
The agreement follows DFPCL's earlier LNG supply pact with Norway's Equinor for
long-term gas sourcing

Trump caps his Scottish visit by opening new golf course
Balmedie (Scotland), Jul 29 (AP) President Donald Trump is opening a new golf course bearing his name in Scotland on Tuesday, capping a five-day foreign trip designed around promoting his family's luxury properties and playing golf. Trump and his sons Eric and Donald Jr are cutting the ceremonial ribbon and playing the first-ever round at the new Trump course in the village of Balmedie, on the northern coast of Scotland. Also from the country's north is the president's late mother, Mary Anne MacLeod, who was born on the Isle of Lewis, immigrated to New York and died in 2000 at age 88. 'My mother loved Scotland," Trump said during a meeting with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Monday at another one of his golf courses, Turnberry, on Scotland's southern coast. 'It's different when your mother was born here." Trump used his trip to meet with Starmer and reach a trade framework for tariffs between the US and the European Union's 27 member countries — though scores of key details remain to be hammered out. The overseas jaunt let Trump escape Washington's sweaty summer humidity but also the still-raging scandal over the files related to Jeffrey Epstein. But it was mostly built around golf — and walking the new course before it officially begins selling rounds to the public on August 13, adding to a lengthy list of ways Trump has used the White House to promote his brand. Trump's assets are in a trust, and his sons are running the family business while he's in the White House. But any business generated at the course will ultimately enrich the president when he leaves office. The new golf course will be the third owned by the Trump Organisation in Scotland. Trump purchased Turnberry in 2014 and owns another course near Aberdeen, which opened in 2012. Trump golfed on Saturday as protesters took to the streets, and on Sunday. He invited Starmer, who famously doesn't golf, aboard Air Force One so the prime minister could get a private tour of his Aberdeen property before Tuesday's ceremonial opening. 'Even if you play badly, it's still good," Trump said of golfing on his course over the weekend. 'If you had a bad day on the golf course, it's OK. It's better than other days." Trump even found time at Turnberry to praise its renovated ballroom, which he said he'd paid lavishly to upgrade — even suggesting that he might install one like it at the White House. 'I could take this one, drop it right down there," Trump joked. 'And it would be beautiful."

Trump and Starmer trade compliments but defend differences
U.S. President Donald Trump spoke warmly about the "special relationship" with Britain on Monday, lavishing praise on Prime Minister Keir Starmer, King Charles, and his own mother's Scottish homeland from the ballroom of his Turnberry golf club. But mixed in with the compliments were warnings for Starmer on energy policy, immigration, and tax, as well as a pointed attack on London Mayor Sadiq Khan, Starmer's political ally. Explore courses from Top Institutes in Please select course: Select a Course Category Artificial Intelligence Management MBA Data Science others Leadership MCA Digital Marketing healthcare Product Management Degree Operations Management Data Science Technology Project Management Others PGDM Finance Cybersecurity Public Policy Data Analytics Design Thinking Healthcare CXO Skills you'll gain: Duration: 7 Months S P Jain Institute of Management and Research CERT-SPJIMR Exec Cert Prog in AI for Biz India Starts on undefined Get Details Seated side-by-side, Starmer and Trump fielded more than an hour of questions from media in a whirlwind tour of global affairs that included setting a new deadline for Russia to agree a ceasefire in Ukraine and announcing food centres to ease starvation in Gaza. When it came to the Anglo-American relationship, Trump's often outspoken - and sometimes confrontational approach - to such media appearances was replaced with a charm offensive. "The prime minister, he's been so supportive of us and so strong and so respected, and I respect him much more today than I did before, because I just met his wife and family. He's got a perfect wife, and that's never easy to achieve," Trump said. Live Events Starmer, who spoke for only a small fraction of the 72 minutes the two spent in the gaze of the world's media, reciprocated the compliments freely in what was the latest chapter of a burgeoning friendship between the two leaders, who hail from opposing sides of the political spectrum. "It's fantastic to be here - thank you for your hospitality - and to see this amazing golf course. I'll invite you to a football ground at some stage, and we can exchange sports," Starmer joked. DEFENDING KHAN However, the British leader jumped in when Trump - who argued publicly with London mayor Khan during his first term as president - said Khan was doing a bad job running the British capital and called him a "nasty person". "He's a friend of mine, I should add," Starmer interjected, before Trump continued: "I think he's done a terrible job." Starmer listened to Trump talk about cutting immigration - an area in which the British leader is seen by the public as failing. Trump said that policy was key to his 2024 U.S. election win, alongside his promises to reduce taxes and boost the economy. Starmer's government, only a year after winning a landslide victory, is facing a fiscal crunch caused by a stagnant economy, and many analysts expect tax increases later this year to plug the gap. On energy, the two talked up the potential of small nuclear reactors, but set out opposing positions on other sources of power. Trump gently urged Starmer to make more of Britain's oil and gas resources and renewed criticism of the offshore wind turbines that dot the coast near his golf course, and which form a key part of Starmer's plans for a carbon-free energy system. "Wind is a disaster," Trump said. "It's a very expensive energy, it's a very ugly energy and we won't allow it in the United States." Starmer replied: "We believe in a mix." STATE VISIT Smoothing over their differences on policy, the two looked ahead to Trump's next visit in September when he will be hosted by King Charles for a state visit. "I hate to say it, but nobody does it like you people in terms of the pomp and ceremony," Trump said. "I'm a big fan of King Charles. I've known him for quite a while. Great guy, great person." After accepting an invitation presented to him during Starmer's visit to the White House in February, Trump will become the first world leader in modern times to undertake two state visits to Britain. "This is going to be a historic occasion, and we're all very much looking forward to it," Starmer said. In May, Washington and London announced the first bilateral trade deal made in the wake of steep new tariffs on global imports imposed by Trump. Trump's visit concludes on Tuesday, when he will open a new golf course near Aberdeen named after his mother, Mary Anne MacLeod, who was born and raised on a Scottish island before emigrating to the United States.
