IGGL and GAIL ink interconnection deal

Indradhanush Gas Grid (IGGL) and GAIL India have signed an Interconnection Agreement to establish a connection between the North East Gas Grid of IGGL and the Barauni Guwahati Pipeline (BGPL) of GAIL.

He emphasised that this agreement would pave the way for incorporating the North East Gas Grid into the National Gas Grid. GAIL will be responsible for laying the pipeline for interconnection, and the cost of approximately Rs 150.16 billion for the laying will be reimbursed by IGGL to GAIL.
