MoU Signed for Goa's First LPG Import and Storage Terminal
The Government of Goa and Dubai-based ANVI Global have signed a memorandum of understanding to develop a dedicated LPG security terminal at Mormugao Port, at an investment of Rs 5,000 crore. Both outlets reporting on the story — The Week and The Tribune — reported the figure at Rs 5,000 crore and the location as Mormugao Port, Goa. The project is described as the state's first LPG import and storage facility. Both publications reported the story on 31 October 2026.

Mormugao Port and Goa's Infrastructure Pipeline
Mormugao Port, located on Goa's western coast, is one of India's established major ports and handles a mix of bulk and general cargo. The proposed LPG terminal would add energy infrastructure capacity to its existing operations. Projects India also tracks a separate port project at Ramayapatnam in Andhra Pradesh among the Government's wider infrastructure pipeline, reflecting continued state-level interest in port-linked facilities across the country.
The Infrastructure Projects sector has remained active across multiple Indian states, with energy terminals, port expansions and connectivity projects generating investment interest.
Context: Infrastructure Project Activity Across India
Projects India tracks 384 live projects in the Aviation Infrastructure sub-sector alone, with five added in the last 90 days. While the Mormugao LPG terminal sits within port and energy infrastructure rather than aviation, the broader infrastructure category of which it forms part continues to see significant capital commitment across Indian states.
Maharashtra leads in tracked aviation infrastructure projects with 71, followed by Uttar Pradesh with 30, Gujarat with 28, Karnataka with 26, Andhra Pradesh with 24, and Tamil Nadu with 19. Across the sub-sector, 173 projects are currently at the under-approvals stage, 87 are in active construction, 70 are at the planning stage, and a further 12 are at the early or announced stage — indicating a pipeline that is broad but still weighted towards the pre-construction phases. Suppliers and contractors with the capacity to engage early in project cycles will find the most opportunity in states where approvals activity is concentrated.
Recent large-scale infrastructure projects tracked by Projects India include the Rs 2,467 crore Chennai Airport Terminal 3 project promoted by the Airports Authority of India, currently in active construction, and a Rs 2,000 crore airside capacity expansion at Mumbai International Airport at the early/announced stage. These figures illustrate the scale of capital being deployed across India's infrastructure sub-sectors in parallel with port energy investments such as the Mormugao terminal.

What this means for suppliers and contractors
An MoU of this scale signals an early-stage commitment rather than a ready-to-tender contract. Suppliers and contractors in LPG storage engineering, tank fabrication, marine infrastructure, jetty construction, pipeline systems and associated civil works should monitor this project as it progresses through regulatory approvals and detailed project report stages.
Goa's port sector has historically attracted niche contractors experienced in coastal and marine construction. Given that this will be the state's first dedicated LPG import and storage facility, there is no existing local precedent for the scope of works involved, which may create openings for specialist firms from outside the state. Equipment suppliers in cryogenic and pressurised storage, safety systems and metering infrastructure are among those likely to be relevant to this project as procurement begins.
With 173 infrastructure sub-sector projects nationally sitting at the under-approvals stage, the Mormugao terminal is entering a competitive landscape for contractor attention. Early engagement — monitoring the project as it moves from MoU to approvals to tender — will be important for firms wishing to position themselves ahead of formal procurement. Projects India's live tenders page carries open Infrastructure Projects tenders as they are published.
