PNGRB's new LPG pipeline expansion plan to attract investment of Rs 12,500 crores

PNGRB has initiated bidding for nine LPG pipeline projects spanning around 2,500 km to reduce reliance on road transport and improve safety and efficiency in LPG distribution. As per its announcement, four key pipelines are currently in the bidding stage, with an estimated investment of Rs 12,500 crore. The move aims to connect refineries and import terminals with bottling plants, enabling seamless supply while minimising risks associated with tanker transport. PNGRB also highlighted that shifting to pipelines will cut greenhouse gas emissions, lower transit losses, generate employment, and support regional development, with a long-term goal of eliminating bulk LPG road transportation by 2030.
