New Delhi: In a major development for India’s petroleum infrastructure, GAIL (India) Limited has received the Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board’s (PNGRB) approval to double the capacity of its flagship Jamnagar-Loni LPG pipeline (JLPL). The current capacity of 3.25 MMTPA will now be expanded to 6.5 MMTPA, reinforcing GAIL’s dominance in the LPG transmission segment.
GAIL’s Longest Pipeline Enters Next Phase of Growth
The JLPL pipeline, India’s longest LPG pipeline, is already operating at full capacity. With LPG demand witnessing a consistent annual growth of 6% over the last decade, GAIL’s decision to expand the pipeline comes at a strategically critical time. The increased capacity is expected to address future surges in domestic LPG consumption and ensure uninterrupted supply to key distribution zones.
