India’s Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board (PNGRB) has started the bidding process for the 325-km Jammu-Srinagar natural gas pipeline. The pipeline’s initial capacity will be 2 million cu m/day (MMcmd).
Bids for construction, operation, and future expansion work are due May 13, 2024.
The Jammu-Srinagar pipeline will extend GAIL (India) Ltd.’s 2-MMcmd Gurdaspur-Jammu pipeline. GAIL last year won the license to build the 175-km pipeline linking Punjab with Jammu and Kashmir (OGJ Online, June 23, 2023).
