Country’s biggest natural gas transporter GAIL India Ltd has reconfigured the Rs 12,000 crore Jagdishpur-Haldia pipeline, which will connect Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s political constituency Varanasi to the gas grid, to link the Dhamra terminal. The over 2,500-kilometer line will be constructed in three phases and will also now connect Adani Group’s Dhamra LNG import terminal in Odisha, GAIL Chairman and Managing Director B C Tripathi said.
In the first phase, a trunk pipeline from Phulpur (Allahabad) will be laid to Dobhi (Gaya) in Bihar with spur lines to Barauni and Patna. “The 755-km Phase-1 project will cost Rs 3,200 crore and will be completed by December 2018,” he said.
