India's largest LPG storage cavern near Mangaluru now ready

MANGALURU: In a major milestone for India's energy infrastructure, the country's largest underground LPG storage cavern -- with a capacity of 80,000 metric tonnes -- has been completed at Bala in Mangaluru. Developed by the Megha Engineering & Infrastructures Ltd (MEIL) for Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd (HPCL), the facility is a significant step toward strengthening India's strategic petroleum reserves. This is only the second underground LPG storage cavern in the country and holds critical importance for enhancing energy security and ensuring an uninterrupted supply of clean energy. The cavern can store up to six lakh barrels, or 60 million litres, of liquefied petroleum gas. It features two separate underground chambers designed to hold 40,000 MT of Propane and 60,000 MT of Butane. Built at a cost of Rs 854 crore, the project passed all major testing phases, with MEIL announcing the successful completion on June 6 via their official 'X' handle. The most crucial stage — the Cavern Acceptance Test (CAT) — was carried out from May 9 to June 6, involving a rigorous three-phase procedure. The CAT began with the pressurisation phase, gradually increasing internal pressure to 8.310 kg/cm². This was followed by a 100-hour stabilisation phase, during which all vents were sealed to monitor for leaks and track hydrogeological data. Finally, the depressurisation phase ensured the system could return safely to atmospheric pressure. The outcome confirmed the cavern's complete sealing and readiness for safe LPG storage. Engineered as a subterranean marvel, the facility features a 1,083-metre access tunnel, upper and lower water curtains measuring 578.2 metres and 804.31 metres, respectively, and 486.2 metres of connecting tunnels. The two main storage caverns — S1 and S2 — are located at depths of 220 metres and 225 metres, respectively, with a vertical shaft extending 164.1 metres. Sources said the completion of the Mangaluru LPG storage project marks a critical leap forward in meeting India's growing clean energy demands and enhancing national preparedness against energy supply disruptions.

India's largest underground LPG storage cavern unveiled

Mangaluru: A landmark achievement in India's energy infrastructure was realised with the completion of the nation's largest underground liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) storage cavern in Mangaluru. Capable of holding 80,000 metric tonnes of LPG, this state-of-the-art facility bolsters the country's capacity to meet critical energy demands, particularly during emergencies. The cavern, developed by Megha Engineering under the central government's oversight, underwent a rigorous Cavern Acceptance Test (CAT) from May 9 to June 6 to verify its safety and operational integrity. This marks the third underground storage facility in the Mangaluru region, joining the existing crude oil caverns at Permude (1.5 lakh metric tonnes) and Padur (2.5 lakh metric tonnes). Unlike its predecessors, this cavern is dedicated exclusively to LPG, surpassing the 60,000-tonne capacity of a similar facility in Visakhapatnam to claim the title of India's largest. Approved by the central government in 2018, construction began in 2019 and culminated at a cost of Rs. 800 crore. The facility, carved 500 meters beneath the earth's surface through solid rock, is supported by a newly completed pipeline system connected to a floating jetty in the sea, enabling efficient LPG transfer. This development strengthens India's energy security, ensuring a robust supply chain for LPG across the region. Authorities anticipate the facility will play a pivotal role in stabilising gas availability, reinforcing Mangaluru's growing significance as a hub for strategic energy reserves say the company officials.

Skoda Octavia RS Snapped Sans Camo Before Launch: Potential Golf GTI Killer?

Skoda India displayed Octavia RS at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025 sparking conversations around its launch in the country. While things had cooled down for a while, the latest spotting of the car without camouflage has reignited the conversation. The performance-oriented version of the vehicle is expected to be launched in the Indian market. The time for the launch seems to be coming closer, even more so as the country recently witnessed the launch of the Volkswagen Golf GTI. Chances are like the aforementioned hot hatch, the Octavia RS will also be introduced as a CBU and in limited numbers. This might end up hurting the sales of forthcoming units of the Golf GTI considering the popularity of the Octavia RS. However, pricing will be an important factor. The Skoda Octavia RS will come with a 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine which kicks out 261 hp of power and 370 Nm of peak torque. This unit works in conjunction with a 7-speed dual-clutch (DSG) automatic transmission. This makes the hatch capable of going from a stand still to 100 kmph in 6.6 seconds, while the top speed is rated to be 250 kmph. To add more spice to the performance, the car with the RS badge is sligtly lower than the standard model and gets an electronic limited-slip differential on the front axle. The sportiness of the car is further accentuated by a different exhaust setup with black-finished tailpipes. Although the overall design is the same as the standard Octavia, the RS model sets itself apart with several styling upgrades. These features comprise a darkened butterfly grille, matrix LED headlights with refreshed daytime running lights, revamped front air intakes, and the new two-dimensional Skoda and RS badges. Buyers will also have new colour options and alloy wheel designs to choose from.
