???? 據天然氣加工2021年4月1日新德里報道，印度斯坦石油公司(HPCL)于今年3月30日從M/s s P Ports Pvt Ltd手中收購了“HPCL Shapoorji能源私人有限公司(HSEPL)”50%的股權。收購后，HPCL在HSEPL中的持股達到100%，使HSEPL成為了HPCL旗下的全資子公司。

????HSEPL正在古吉拉特邦的恰哈拉建造一個500萬噸/年的Chhara液化天然氣（LNG）終端，項目成本約為43億盧比，可能在2022年年底完成。這個LNG終端將具備通過遠洋油輪接收LNG、海上卸貨、儲存、LNG公路油輪裝載、再氣化以及向供氣網供應再氣化LNG的所有設施。這個項目未來的產能將進一步擴大到1000萬噸/年

????此次收購符合HPCL未來的整體戰略，使其產品組合多樣化，是在整個天然氣價值鏈中擁有強大存在的重要一步。到2030年前，天然氣在印度能源中所占的比例預計將從目前的6%增長到15%，天然氣將成為未來印度經濟增長的重要推動力之一。

????HPCL及其合資公司在印度9個邦的34個地區的20個地理區域(GA)開展了CGD業務。迄今為止，HPCL獨自運營674個壓縮天然氣站，并計劃進一步擴張。它還在嘗試建立LNG配送站。這些，再加上HPCL及其合資企業/子公司在煉油廠加強天然氣的使用，增加了此次收購的戰略價值。
