India is expected to lead the liquids storage capacity growth in Asia, contributing about 23% of the total capacity growth between 2022-26. The country is likely to add 23.9 million cubic meters (mmcm) of liquids storage capacity by 2026, forecasts GlobalData, a leading data and analytics company.

GlobalData’s report, ‘Global Liquids Storage Industry Outlook to 2026 – Capacity and Capital Expenditure Outlook with Details of All Operating and Planned Terminals, reveals that Asia’s liquids storage capacity is expected to increase by 103.6 mmcm during 2022-2026. Out of the total capacity additions, 67.5 mmcm is likely to come from new build projects, and expansions of active projects contribute to the rest with 36.1 mmcm.

Of these, 19.5 mmcm is likely to come from new build projects and the rest 4.4 mmcm would be from expansion projects. Most of these capacity additions are being planned to meet ever growing demand for crude and petroleum products in the country.”

Among the new build projects, the planned Chandikhol liquids storage terminal will be the largest with a capacity of 4.8 mmcm and is expected to become operational in 2025.

The announced Bikaner liquids storage terminal stands next in India with capacity of 4.4 mmcm and is expected to be added in 2025.

The third highest contributor in the country is the planned Padur II terminal, which is likely to add a capacity of 2.9 mmcm in 2025. Indian Strategic Petroleum Reserves Ltd will be the operator of this liquids storage terminal.
