Background

The Jagdishpur-Haldia-Bokaro-Dhamra Natural Gas Pipeline (JHBDPL) will pass through the Eastern part of U.P., Bihar, Jharkhand, Odisha, and West Bengal.[2] As per GAIL's annual report 2020-21, 1,100 kilometers out of the total 2,655 kilometers have been commissioned.[2] The pipeline project is being further extended to connect the North-eastern region of India upto Guwahati, Assam, through a 729-km Barauni-Guwahati Gas Pipeline.[2] Total investment for the JHBDPL project is estimated to be Rs129.4bn ($1.8bn), which includes a 40% capital grant of Rs51.76bn ($740m) from the Government of India.[8]

In October 2020, GAIL signed with Numaligarh Refinery Limited to lay the portion of the pipeline from Purnia, Buhar to Guwahati, Assam along the same route as the Paradip Numaligarh Crude Pipeline (PNCPL).

In April 2023, segments of the pipeline reaching eastern Indian states of Bihar, Jharkhand, Odisha, and West Bengal were able to deliver gas.[7] As of March 2024, the pipeline had an operating length of 3141 km, while the remaining 405 km segment was under construction. [6]
