MUMBAI (Reuters) - India's biggest refiner Indian Oil Corp Ltd
The two companies will sign an agreement on Wednesday with coal trader Adani Enterprises Ltd
The statement did not specify what stake Indian Oil and Gail would be taking though company officials have previously indicated that they might buy 49 percent of the terminal.
Factories and vehicles are expected to need more and more natural gas in coming years and Indian Oil has been aggressively booking capacities in LNG terminals across the country.
The company, which is setting up its own 5 million tonne terminal in the east coast, wants its gas trading business to contribute 15 percent of revenues by 2021.
