The completion of the 'Urja Ganga' gas pipeline, an extensive project valued at 12,940 crore, has been postponed by nine months and is now expected to be finished by March 2025, as announced by GAIL (India) . This pipeline is considered to be India's most significant venture in delivering eco-friendly fuel to the country's eastern regions.Originally, the 3,306-kilometre Jagdishpur-Haldia-Bokaro-Dhamra pipeline was scheduled to be operational by June 2024. However, due to a delay in securing the right of use (RoU), the timeline has been adjusted, with completion now projected for March 2025, according to a disclosure made by GAIL in a stock exchange filing.Construction of the bulk of the pipeline has already been done, and gas has started to flow in most cities along the route. Traditionally, natural gas was available for use as fuel to generate electricity, make fertilizer or turn into CNG and cooking gas only in the western and northern parts of the country, as pipelines taking the fuel from source to users were limited to these parts.The Jagdishpur-Haldia-Bokaro-Dhamra Pipeline (JHBDPL), popularly called the Pradhan Mantri Urja Ganga pipeline, is to supply gas to the eastern states of Bihar, Jharkhand, Odisha and West Bengal.GAIL, the firm executing the pipeline, said its board of directors in a meeting on June 28 approved the revision of the completion schedule. The completion schedule for the 240-km Dhamra-Haldia pipeline has also been revised from June 2024 to March 2025, it added.
