The Minister of Petroleum & Natural Gas Dr. M. Veerappa Moily informed the Lok Sabha in a written reply today that for transporting natural gas across the length and breadth of the country, a cross- country pipeline network is being laid throughout the country. Presently, there are around 11500 km of natural gas pipelines across the country and another 12650 km of pipeline infrastructure is under various stages of implementation. The details of various under-construction natural gas pipeline projects are given below:
Dr. Moily also said that Petroleum & Natural Gas Regulatory Board (PNGRB) has envisaged a phased roll out plan of City Gas Distribution (CGD) network development in several Geographical Area (GAs) covering more than 300 cities/towns in various States on the basis of Expressions of Interest (EOI) submitted to the Board and on suo moto basis. “Depending on the natural gas pipeline connectivity/gas availability, PNGRB includes these GAs in a phased manner in the bidding rounds for grant of authorization to develop CGD networks,” he added.
The Government has set up a Petroleum & Natural Gas Regulatory Board (PNGRB) under PNGRB Act, 2006 as a regulatory body to authorize and monitor the development of pipeline infrastructure and CGD network in the country. |
