GAIL Completes Over 97.6% of PM Urja Ganga Pipeline Project

GAIL (India) has achieved significant progress in the implementation of the Jagdishpur–Haldia–Bokaro–Dhamra Pipeline (JHBDPL), also known as the “Pradhan Mantri Urja Ganga.” Over 97.6 per cent of the integrated pipeline network has been laid, with approximately 96.6 per cent already under commercial operations.

The JHBDPL project, including the Barauni–Guwahati Pipeline, spans six states—Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Jharkhand, Odisha, West Bengal, and Assam—with a total authorized length of 3,306 km. So far, 3,227 km of the pipeline has been constructed, and 3,119 km has commenced commercial operations. Operational sections include Phulpur–Dobhi–Bokaro–Durgapur, Bokaro–Angul–Dhamra, and Dobhi–Barauni–Guwahati segments.

Currently, the pipeline transports 12.26 million metric standard cubic meters per day (MMSCMD) of natural gas, catering to a wide range of consumers. This includes supply to four fertilizer plants, two refineries (Barauni and Paradip), multiple industrial units, and 32 City Gas Distribution (CGD) networks. Key cities served by the network include Varanasi, Patna, Ranchi, Jamshedpur, Bhubaneswar, Cuttack, and Kolkata.

In the Durgapur–Haldia section, which spans 294 km, 132 km of the pipeline up to Kolkata is already operational. Of the remaining 162 km stretch to Haldia, 103 km has been laid. Additionally, in the Dhamra–Haldia section with an authorized length of 240 km, 198 km of the pipeline has been completed. However, due to constraints in acquiring the Right of Use (RoU), the completion timeline for both the Durgapur–Haldia and Dhamra–Haldia sections has been revised from March 2025 to December 2025.
