GAIL Limited has revised the completion schedule of its Durgapur-Haldia and Dhamra-Haldia sections within the Integrated Jagdishpur-Haldia-Bokaro-Dhamra Pipeline Project to March 2027 due to delays caused by limited availability of hindrance-free fronts. The company confirmed that no extra investment will be required for these extensions and is in process of obtaining approval from PNGRB.
The Durgapur-Haldia section of the pipeline project has an authorized/under execution length of 3,345 km, with 3,280 km completed and 3,119 km commissioned to date. The revised completion schedule for this section is set for March 2027.
