Background

On 24 February 2016, the Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate Change approved a debottlenecking project on the pipeline.[8] The 798-km pipeline project included laying new pipeline from Moda, Gujarat to Manjpuria, Dausa, as well as expanding the pipeline in Rewari distric of Haryana.[8]

Spills and Environmental Issues

The pipeline expansion project includes segments within 10 km of two wildlife sanctuaries, Jessore Sloth Bear Sanctuary (2.7 km) and Balaram-Ambaji Wildlife Sanctuary in Banaskantha district, Gujarat (0.09 km).[8]

In June 2017, the pipeline ruptured, spilling oil across four hectares of agricultural land in Mota Thavariya villange near Jamnagar city.[9] The amount spilled was not reported.
