Eastern India Pipelines

GAIL is planning to invest Rs.80000 million to expand its pipeline network. A major part of it will be spent in constructing a pipeline from Haldia to Jagdishpur (2050 kms). In first phase of the project, the pipeline will be built Haldia to Phulpur (1410 kms) – where it can cater to Hindustan Fertilizer Corp (at Durgapur), Fertilizer Corp of India (at Sindri and Barauni) as well as power plants along the way. Spurlines and feeder lines will be laid to CGS Kolkatta, Ranchi, Jamshedpur, Allahabad, Varanasi and WBPDCL at Sagardighi. In phase II, 190 kms feeder line will be laid CSES Haldia, WBPDC Bandel and Katwa, DPL and SAIL plants. Around Rs.2500 million will be invested to construct Karanpur-Moradabad-Kashipur-Rudrapur and Rs. 2000 million to upgrade the existing Bajera-Agra-Ferozabad pipeline. These projects form the single largest investment of the company so far.
