The Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board (PNGRB) is in the process of concluding bid proposals for four liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) pipeline projects spanning a cumulative length of approximately 2,500 km and entailing an investment of Rs 125 billion.
The four pipelines include the Cherlapally-Nagpur LPG Pipeline, Shikrapur-Hubli-Goa LPG Pipeline, Paradip-Raipur LPG Pipeline and Jhansi-Sitarganj LPG Pipeline. The proposed pipelines are designed to connect key supply sources including refineries and import terminals with LPG bottling plants across multiple regions. Besides, the pipelines are part of a larger initiative under which nine LPG pipeline projects were identified by PNGRB to eliminate bulk road movement of LPG by 2030.
Additionally, the pipelines are expected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve supply chain efficiency, attract investment and generate employment in the regions they traverse.
