GAIL’s Bold Move: Doubling LPG Pipeline Capacity to Meet Surging Demand

GAIL, a leading energy company, has recently secured approval from the Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board (PNGRB) for doubling the capacity of its crucial LPG pipeline. The pipeline, currently operating at its maximum capacity of 3.25 MMTPA, is facing this expansion in response to the escalating demand for LPG. With the sustained growth in LPG consumption, the decision to boost the pipeline’s capacity to 6.5 MMTPA underscores GAIL’s proactive approach to meet future demand efficiently. This strategic move not only addresses the existing demand but also anticipates and prepares for the expected surge in LPG requirements. The planned expansion, set to be completed within three years from the authorization date, is a significant milestone in GAIL’s ongoing efforts to enhance infrastructure and support the nation’s energy needs. By increasing the pipeline’s throughput, GAIL aims to not only ensure a smoother supply chain but also contribute to the overall energy security of the country.
