The Minister of State (I/C) for Petroleum & Natural
Gas Shri Dharmendra Pradhan informed the Lok Sabha in a written reply today that
the details of existing natural gas pipelines along
with their capacity to transport the gas is enclosed as Annexure-I.
In order to complete the gas grid across the country, about 11,900 km of
pipelines have already been authorized by Petroleum & Natural Gas
Regulatory Board (PNGRB)/Government of India and 1200 km of pipeline is under
bidding process by PNGRB. For completion of gas grid, 2500 km of pipelines
have been identified for development through PPP mode.
Presently,
there is no proposal with PNGRB for setting up a National Gas Pipeline
Authority.
The details of the Bhatinda-Jammu-Srinagar and Jagdishpur-Haldia pipeline
projects along with the current status is enclosed at Annexure-II.
The onus for arranging of funds for laying of natural gas pipelines vests
with the entity authorized by PNGRB/Government.
For working out the implementation of the Budget announcement, Ministry has
identified various pipelines and spur line pipeline sections to be developed
to complete the National Gas Grid. Further, Ministry has identified 3
pipeline sections of the total length of about 2500 km for implementation
through PPP mode with Viability Gap Funding (VGF). Ministry has approved a
pipeline section (Ranchi-Talcher-Paradip) for implementation through PPP mode
as pilot project and the remaining 2 pipeline sections viz.,
Barauni-Guwahati-Agartala and Haldia-Paradip/Srikakulam would be considered
through PPP mode with VGF after successful completion of the pilot project.
The details of natural gas pipelines that would form part of the National Gas
Grid along with their present status are enclosed at Annexure-II.
