Speaking to reporters on Thursday on the sidelines of the India Energy Week (IEW), Singh said the company would also set up an LNG terminal at Colombo port with an investment of about Rs 2,500 crore.

"They (Sri Lanka) have already installed a 300 MW gas-based power plant. They have approached us to set up an LNG terminal which is going to take more time-3 to 4 years time to set up an FSRU (floating storage regasification unit)-based terminal. As a stop-gap arrangement we are working out to supply through ISO containers," he said.
