Karnataka is set to strengthen its energy infrastructure with the development of an underground LPG storage cavern in Mangaluru and the Devangonthi Marketing Terminal in Bengaluru.
The underground cavern project, undertaken by Megha Engineering and Infrastructures Limited (MEIL) for Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL), is among India’s major initiatives in underground LPG storage.
It marks the country’s first effort to develop underground caverns specifically for storing liquefied petroleum gas.
Unlike conventional warehouses and bunkers, these man-made underground structures are specially engineered to store fuel safely and meet stringent safety standards.
