PNGRB Approves 1,800 km LPG Pipeline Expansion with Rs 7,000 Crore Investment
The Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board (PNGRB) has approved the development of approximately 1,800 km of LPG pipeline infrastructure across Telangana, Maharashtra, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Karnataka, and Goa, with an estimated investment of around Rs 7,000 crore. State-owned GAIL (India) Limited will develop these pipelines, which will expand the country's LPG network from about 7,700 km to 9,500 km. The projects aim to reduce LPG truck movements, enhance road safety, lower logistics costs, ease traffic congestion, and decrease carbon emissions, strengthening the resilience of LPG supply chains.
