The first source was quoted by ET as saying: “AG&P plans to buy 70 per cent in H-Energy and one of its subsidiaries as it is looking to expand its LNG and CNG operations in India.”

Earlier, Hiranandani Energy unveiled plans to build two LNG terminals and a pipeline for end-to-end natural gas solutions.

H-Energy planned to invest $3bn to build the two LNG terminals – one in Jaigarh, Ratnagiri, Maharashtra and the second, a floating LNG import terminal, off Haldia, West Bengal.

However, the plans did not proceed as envisaged due to on-ground and financial challenges.
