Background

The pipeline project includes construction of a natural gas pipeline grid that will branch into three directions; Guwahati to Imphal, Guwahati to Agartala, and Guwahati to Itanagar, India. The five companies signed a joint venture agreement for the project, which is expected to run for 932 miles and initiate operations in 2022. Project is part of the Jagadishpur-Haldia-Bokaro-Dhamra Natural Gas Pipeline (JHBDPL) and will connect Guwahati to the major northeastern. In January 2020 the Indian government allocated Rs 5,559 crore (US$745 million) for construction of the pipeline, only the second pipeline in India that has received government funds. The total estimated cost of the pipeline is Rs 9,265 crore (US$1.24 billion).
