Background
The pipeline would be owned and operated by GSPL India Gasnet Limited (GIGL). The Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board authorized GIGL to build the pipeline in July 2011.[7] The pipeline was listed as "Under Construction" in a January 2018 report by the Petroleum Planning & Analysis Cell of the Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas.[8] However in August 2019 it was reported that construction had not yet begun due to delays in acquiring land, and that it was scheduled to begin in September 2019.[9] Land acquisition was expected to happen more quickly after the August 2019 revocation of Article 370, which gave autonomy to the states of Jammu and Kashmir.[10] In November 2020 the pipeline's cost was put at 55 billion rupees (US$739 million).[11]
The pipeline was scheduled for commissioning in June 2021, but was delayed due to the second wave of Covid-19 in India.[5]
As of July 2023, 1177 kilometers of the pipeline had been commissioned while the rest (763 kilometers) was still under construction.[4]
