PNGRB Approves Rs 7,000 Crore Investment for 1,800 km LPG Pipeline Expansion
The Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board (PNGRB) has authorised the development of approximately 1,800 km of new 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 projects, which aim to expand the LPG pipeline network from 7,700 km to about 9,500 km. The expansion is expected to improve supply chain resilience, reduce road tanker traffic, enhance safety, lower logistics costs, and decrease carbon emissions by shifting transportation from road to pipelines.
