Upon completion of this Pipeline project, it will deliver petroleum products to important consumption centres in a safer, more reliable, environment-friendly and cost effective manner. This pipeline will also facilitate decongestion of the highways and railways, as presently petroleum products in the region are largely moved through these modes of transportation.
The project to cost approximately Rs. 3808 crores is expected to be completed by August 2020. It involves laying of 1212 km pipeline from Paradip to Hyderabad having a capacity of 4.5 million metric tonnes per annum (MMTPA).
The pipeline pass through 16 districts in the states of Odisha (6 districts), Andhra Pradesh (6 districts) and Telangana (4 districts). Once completed, the pipe will also supply of petroleum products like motor spirit (petrol), high speed diesel, aviation turbine fuel and superior kerosene oil from the Paradip Refinery.
