BBMP's nod sought for road cutting to lay gas pipeline

The Gas Authority of India (GAIL) has sought permission from the Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) for digging roads in the City limits. Classified as one of the navaratnas among the public sector units of India, GAIL has drawn a pipeline from Dabhol to Bangalore to supply liquified natural gas (LNG) to Toyota Kirloskar, and has started working on supplying gas to each household in the City.

GAIL has already laid a 73-km-long pipeline of 18-inch diameter from Sulivara on PWD Road to Baicheguppa. Now, GAIL has got permission to lay 450 metre of pipeline along the Old Madras Road near the Baiyyappanahalli Cross Road to the next cross road towards Indiranagar.

In addition to it, the PSU has sought permission to lay 250 metre of pipeline at Kasturi Nagar, for 1.5 km on the Old Madras Road, 1.7 km from the Outer Ring Road to the HSR Layout and again on Hosur Road upto Singasandra.

Following the plans by GAIL, the Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike has fixed road cutting charges at Rs 3,829 per running metre. These charges may differ based on the road and the depth the PSU would dig to lay pipelines.

The rates fixed by the civic agency is for the 18-inch diameter pipes. When these pipes go into the interior areas, the thickness may come down and accordingly the rates will be fixed. However, Rs 3,829 per running metre will remain the guidance rate, the officer said.
