India's largest LPG plant is being built in Madhya Pradesh

Construction of the 2757 km long pipeline connecting Gujarat's Kandla Port to Gorakhpur in Uttar Pradesh as the world's longest LPG gas pipeline will begin in the next eight to ten months.  The agreement for the construction of a joint venture between three state-run oil and gas companies Indian Oil (50 percent), Bharat Petroleum and Hindustan Petroleum (25-25 percent) was signed in the last June for this project costing about 10 thousand crores.

 A top Indian Oil official told here today that the first bid for this joint venture meeting has also been held in the last week of July.  After completing other related processes, its construction work will start in eight to ten months and once started it will be completed within 36 months.  It will go from Gujarat through Madhya Pradesh to Gorakhpur in Uttar Pradesh.

 Apart from the Kandla import terminal, it will direct gas from Indian Oil's Koyali and Bharat Petroleum's Bina refinery to 22 bottling plants (three in Gujarat, six in MP and 13 in Uttar Pradesh).  Apart from this, through road bridging, this will supply gas to 21 more such plants in Rajasthan, Gujarat, MP, Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh.  Through this, 82 lakh 50 thousand tons of LPG will be supplied per year, which is about 25 percent of the country's total current LPG demand.
