The New Mundra-Panipat Pipeline Project by Indian Oil Corporation has begun with the Central Government's land purchase process. The pipeline carrying crude oil would be built beginning in the Gujarati village of Chudva in the Kachchh district and ending in the Haryana town of Panipat. The "public interest" was taken into consideration when the government decided to lay the crude oil pipeline. In a series of notifications published last week addressing the purchase of ROUs (Rights of Use) in several districts of Rajasthan, the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas (MoPNG) announced the news. The pipeline will travel through a number of Rajasthani districts, including Nagaur, Jalore, Jhunjhunu, Sikar, Jodhpur, and Pali.
