(a):  GAIL  (India)  Limited  is  currently  operating  11343  Km  Natural  Gas  Pipeline Network  across  India  including  the  state  of  Kerala  to  meet  the  energy  needs  of Industrial  (Power,  Fertilizer  etc.)  sector  &  City  Gas  Distribution  [Piped  Natural Gas(PNG) & Compressed Natural Gas (CNG)] sector. GAIL is also operating two LPG  pipelines,  one  from  Jamnagar  in  Gujarat  to  Loni  in  Uttar  Pradesh  and  the second pipeline  is  from  Vizag  in  Andhra  Pradesh  to  Secunderabad  in  Telangana. Details  of  Natural  Gas  Pipelines  and  LPG  Pipelines  are  at Annexure-I .  Pipelines project under execution by GAIL (India) Limited in different parts of the country are at Annexure-II. Details of existing gas processing plants of GAIL and its Petrochemical Complex at Pata is at Annexure-III.

In addition, the Government has envisaged to develop additional 15000 Km natural gas pipelines for completion of National Gas Grid and to increase the availability of natural gas across the country. In order to ensure the availability of clean and ecofriendly fuel, i.e. natural gas to the Eastern parts of the country, the Government has taken  a  decision  to  provide  a  capital  grant  of  Rs.5176  crore  (i.e.  40%  of  the estimated capital cost of Rs.12,940 Crore) to GAIL for development of a 2655 Km long Jagdishpur-Haldia/Bokaro-Dhamra Gas Pipeline (JHBDPL) project. This pipeline  will  transport  Natural  Gas  to  the  industrial,  commercial,  domestic  and transport sectors in the States of Bihar, Jharkhand, Odisha, West Bengal and Uttar Pradesh.

With  regard  to  projects  of  GAIL  in  the  state  of  Kerala,  GAIL  is  executing  KochiKoottanad- Bangalore/Mangalore Pipeline (KKBMPL) Ph-II (879 Km) which passes through  Kerala  (503  Km),  Tamil  Nadu  (310  Km)  and  Karnataka  (66  Km).  GAIL  is taking up KKBMPL Project in two sections viz.  (i)  Kochi  -  Koottanad  -  Mangaluru Pipeline  Section  (438  Km)  and  (ii)  Koottanad  -  Coimbatore  -  Salem  -  Bengaluru Pipeline Section (441 Km).

Further,  construction  activities  in  Kochi-Koottanad-Mangalore  section  (438  Km) predominantly  passing  through  Kerala  State  has  started  from  October,  2016.  The Project  is  progressing  as  per  schedule.  Intermittent  hurdles  enroute  pipeline  are being  resolved  with  support  of  the  State  Government/  District  Administration.  This section of the pipeline is scheduled to be completed by February, 2019. KoottanadCoimbatore- Salem- Bengaluru Pipeline Section is on hold due to stiff resistance of farmers  in  Tamil  Nadu.  However,  contract  for  pipeline  construction  works  from Koottanadupto Kerala border is at an advanced stage of award to further connect to the industrial belt in Coimbatore in Tamil Nadu.
