The pipeline, with a capacity to carry 20 million cum/d of gas, will serve as one of the 15 ‘limbs’ of the proposed national gas grid, and will be connected with the Hazira-Bijaipur-Jagdishpur (HBJ) and Dahej-Hazira pipelines.
A detailed feasibility report on the pipeline is being prepared, detailed route surveys are under way, and commissioning is due to start in October.
