The Dahej terminal reached a capacity utilization of 109 percent in the current quarter, as against 97 percent in the previous quarter and 96 percent in the corresponding quarter.

The overall LNG volume processed by Perronet LNG in the May-June quarter was 262 TBTU, highest ever throughput volume for any quarter, Petronet said.
