The Kukrahati-Itinda Gas Pipeline was a proposed natural gas pipeline in India which is now presumed cancelled.[1][2]
Location
The pipeline runs from Kukrahati, West Bengal to Itinda, West Bengal.[3][2]

- Operator: H-Energy[2]
- Owner:
- Parent Company: H-Energy[2]
- Capacity: 18 MMSCMD[1]
- Length: 78 miles / 125 kilometers[2]
- Diameter:
- Status: Cancelled[3][2]
- Start Year: 2024[3][2][4]
- Cost: Rs 210 crore (US$27.3 million)[5]
- Financing:
- Associated infrastructure: Kukrahati LNG Terminal
Background
The pipeline is owned and operated by H-Energy.[1] Proposed in May 2018, the project would transport RLNG to itinda for custody transfer at India-Bangladesh border for subsequent distribution to Bangladeshi customers/pipeline companies. [6] The project potentially duplicates parts of the proposed Jagadishpur-Haldia-Bokaro-Dhamra Natural Gas Pipeline (JHBDPL).[7]
On February 23, 2021, H-Energy signed an MOU with Syama Prasad Port, Kolkata for LNG Re-gasification Terminal Project which also includes the 125 km Kukrahati-Itinda Gas Pipeline.[3][2]
However, there have been no new development updates since then, and as of July 2025 this project is presumed cancelled.
