India Revisits Oman-Gujarat Deep-Sea Gas Pipeline to Enhance Energy Security
India is revisiting the proposed Oman-Gujarat Deep-Sea Gas Pipeline, a nearly 2,000-kilometre undersea project estimated at Rs 40,000 crore, aimed at securing direct natural gas supplies from Oman. The pipeline would bypass the Strait of Hormuz, reducing exposure to regional conflicts and global energy disruptions. Despite previous technical, financial, and commercial challenges, including high costs and deep-sea construction complexities, the project has been studied extensively by entities like SAGE and remains under consideration amid growing energy uncertainties.
